After coining the phrase that launched a thousand terrible jokes and inaccurate references, Sheryl Sandberg is hoping to expand her message to the youths of America: in April, she'll release Lean In For Graduates.
Salesforce's annual Dreamforce conference—"the biggest cloud computing event of the year"—already mocked Wal-Mart workers protesting Marissa Mayer's board seat and broke a local hospitality union's boycott by hosting it at the Moscone Center. So why not add regressive gender norms to the list?
Well, this is cool. According to an article in the New York Times, businessmen have begun to really change their attitudes about powerful women in the workplace thanks largely to Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In."
The editors of Cosmo have a few questions for all those Cosmo girls out there, namely: "How much would you pay to attend a two-day Cosmo-hosted event in NYC, packed with speakers, networking opportunities to meet people at the top of their fields (people on the level of Sheryl Sandberg, maybe even Sheryl herself!),…
Even Lean In haters can concede that Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg probably wouldn't want writers and public motivational speakers to co-opt her book's catchy title for the purposes of (at worst) shaming women and (at most ridiculous) making inane non sequiturs about ladythings. Too bad.
Leslie Bradshaw, chief operating officer at Guide, a text-to-video startup, believes more young women think it's possible to be a CEO or COO these days because of the [Sheryl] "Sandberg Effect."
After Dissent magazine published a rather lengthy and critical review of Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In by Kate Losse earlier this week, Losse received a private message on Facebook from Brandee Barker, one of the publicists for the book/movement, telling her, "There's a special place in hell for you." Losse took a screen…
Before Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's book, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, came out earlier this week, her "sort of feminist manifesto" had already kicked up a storm of backlash and backlash to the backlash and backlash to the backlash backlash—you know, that old trap we typically fall into within…
After months of false "Blogs who Cried Breakup" rumors surrounding Miley "Just Being Miley" Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, they finally huffed, and puffed, and blew the house down. Or something. IDK, wolves. BUT ANYWAY, the two have broken up on the reals, according to Page Six's multiple sources.
Maybe nobody cares if Katy "Cupcakes" Perry is a feminist. But if Marissa Mayer, by all accounts a brilliant, successful woman and CEO of a globally recognized brand, doesn't really wanna hang her hat where feminism lives, and neither do younger women, is the problem us? Or them? Or does this continued resistance to…
Sheryl Sandberg, the Facebook COO who makes workplace discrimination quiver in its ugly shoes, took the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Friday to tell everyone that gender stereotypes are still holding back working women, which is not okay.
The corporate glass ceiling proved too goddamned impenetrable for women this year, according to a depressing new study from Catalyst which found that very few women joined U.S. corporate boards or executive teams in 2012. But but but Marissa Mayer!? But nothing. She and Sheryl Sandberg — the only other notable woman…
Yesterday, Facebook had zero women on its board of directors. Now they have one: the company announced today that Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer at Facebook, has joined the board.
Though sexism in Silicon Valley might no long come as a great shock to anyone, the early years of Facebook were especially fratty, if not outright hostile towards female employees. That is, Facebook was like that, until Sheryl Sandberg arrived with her ninja stars in 2008 and quietly changed the company's boy club…
It was only a few decades ago that many women viewed higher education mainly as a way of finding a husband—earning the ol' M.R.S. degree, as it was called. Times have changed considerably since then, so it sounds more than a little odd to hear Helen Fraser, the chief executive of the UK's Girls' Day School Trust, say…
During a speech to Harvard Business School, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg told the gathered aspiring magnates that part of her success can be attributed to ... crying at work. Record scratch sound! What?!
Yes, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg predictably touches upon the mythical work-life balance in her recent interview with PBS/AOL's Makers Project. (Sandberg, who once pumped breast milk while on Google conference calls, said there's "no such thing" as that balance.) But she also makes some more provocative comments…
Chances are if you've pursued any kind of corporate career, you've felt the pressure to stay late at the office, to log the same number or more hours than your colleagues, even if it meant sacrificing time spent at home with your family or out with your friends or sitting at home in bed alone catching up on all the…
Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and soon to be one of the richest self-made women in the world, has a message for all those women struggling up the corporate ladder that she echoed at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week: take responsibility for your careers and stop blaming men for holding you back. Sandberg…
Oprah sat down with Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg yesterday, and showed her trademark balance of accessibility and all-powerful confidence.
