[[User:Slowking4]] shared this link with me in #gendergap-l. It did
get me a bit emotional, and I think it's inspiring and worth
watching. <br>
<br>
It is a TED talk, so it has a number of languages available. <br>
<br>
It's by Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook. She talks about statistics
related to women in organizations and leadership (coincides with
Wikipedia data, actually), women and families, as well. <br>
<br>
Her three points:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>sit at the table</li>
<li>make your partner, really your partner (One of the best
pieces of advice I ever received was "Make sure your partner is
a feminist," from a female director of a GLAM, and this reminded
me of that.)<br>
</li>
<li>don't leave before you leave</li>
</ul>

<p>She does talk about being a mother, and while I am childless by
choice, I think it's really important to hear the voices of
mother's and women in the workplace, and how they feel gender
equality plays a role in motherhood and a professional life. I
found it inspiring, and perhaps you will too. <br>
