Kas olete tähele pannud, et peaaegu iga ärivaldkonda puudutavas trükises— olgu tegu siis eneseabiraamatu, õpiku, memuaaride või biograafiaga—autor on ikka nende hulgast, keda pole kunagi sekretäriga segamini aetud.

How Women Rise vol 4
… when being considered for a promotion, women are most likely to be evaluated based on their contributions, while men are most likely to be evaluated based on their potential—nebulous criteria that can result in a less qualified man getting the job.

Tõde. Ebamugav raamat suhetest vol 11
Me oleme viiesaja aastaga pika tee maha käinud. Tänapäeval ei nimeta me neid nõidadeks ega tapa, vaid nimetama litsideks ja tapame nende maine.

Elamise tähtsus vol 13
Las neil olla nende kosmeetika ja, kui neil veel jõudu üle jääb, nagu ütleks Konfutsius, las nad mängivad ka matemaatikaga.

Rikaste naispatsientidega on nimelt see häda, et nad ei funktsioneeri bioloogiliselt, või siis on nende bioloogiline funktsioneerimine häbiväärselt madalal tasemel.

Tuleviku majandus vol 1
Uuenduslikkust kultuuris ei näita ilmekamalt miski muu kui naise positsiooni tugevnemine. Naiste täielik kaasamine, neile majanduslike ja poliitiliste täisvolituste andmine on kõige tähtsam samm, mida üks riik või ettevõte võib teha oma konkurentsivõime parandamiseks. Ühiskonnad, mis ei suuda ületada oma negatiivset kultuuripärandt suhtumisesnaistesse, ei suuda järgmise uuenduslaine ajal pinnal püsida ja upuvad.

Now we know that women can do what men can do, but we don’t know that men can do what woman can do.
Gloria Steinem

Lean In vol 13
Whenever possible, women should substitute “we” for “I”. A woman’s request will be better recieved if she asserts, “We had a great year,” as opposed to “I had a great year.”
lk 47
Lean In vol 12
When a man helps a colleague, the recipient feels indebted to him and is highly likely to return the favor. But when a woman helps out, the feeling of indebtedness is weaker. She’s communal, right? She wants to help others./…/ Even more fustrating, when a woman declines to help a colleague, she often receives less favorable reviews and fewer rewards. But a man who declines to help? He pays no penalty.

As a girl, you know that being smart is good in lots of ways, but it doesn’t make you particulary popular or attractive to boys.

Lean In 10
If a woman pushes to get the job done, if she’s highly compentent, if she focuses on result rather on pleasing others, she’s acting like a man. And if she acts like a man, people dislike her.

Lean In vol 9
When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less.
lk 40
Composing A Life vol 8
Traditionally, women expected inequality in marriage, looking for husbands who were older, taller, richer, and more intelligent than themselves. Not surprisingly, these same husbands continue to earn more and expect their careers to take precedence. We used to be taught to avoid even the appearance of equality lest it threaten the marriage and lead to competition and conflict. Today, women seek equality, but the male game of “Anything you can do, I can do better” makes for a dull world.

Lean In vol 7
And in situations where a man and a woman each receive negative feedback, the woman’s self-confidence and self-esteem drop to a much greater degree.
