[[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.
It is a TED talk, so it has a number of languages available.
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.
Her three points:
- sit at the table
- 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.)
- don't leave before you leave

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.
