Lean In's Businesslady Stock Image Collection Is a Success

A few months after their feminist-y collection of stock photos organized in tandem with the Lean In Foundation launched, Getty says that the photos are selling well.

At The Atlantic and the Aspen Institute’s New York Ideas Conference, at least one new idea proved fruitful.

“We have a lot of content in there of business meetings, and it seems a little bit obvious, but the images where the woman is the one in the leadership position, the one at the head of the table, the one speaking, and the men look a little more collaborative or ancillary, those are performing really well,” Grossman said, reported BuzzFeed.
