Anyone else surprised by Jon Stewart's interview of Sandberg last night?

Errrm who is Sandberg…?

She wrote the new book “Lean In” about how women have to work harder and smarter to get ahead in the workplace. Sheryl Sandberg, currently working at a high level job at Facebook.

I just watched the clip of her on Jon Stewart and I don’t understand exactly what you are asking? I have seen Sandberg on many shows talking about her book, and I like what she has to say. I think she causes us to really think about how society raises our girls vs. our boys. She also on other nterviews has talked about how young women hold themseves back in their careers overthinking planning the future of being a married and a mom, and I think she is right.

Often, he’ll post an extended version of the interview online; maybe you’ll find what you’re looking for there?

It seems to me that children are simply ignored in much of the push for women to get ahead. And until the question of children is fully acknowledged, I don’t think women will be able to make the big moves Sandberg wants.
I will check out the rest of the interview, to see if he does ask that question.

Or perhaps you could read her book.

@skfinkel Did she say to ignore children?

I have seen other interviews with her in which the issue of children was raised and she acknowledged how important her husband has been since he has shared in child care duties which has made her success possible.

That’s why she stressed the importance of selecting a mate who is willing to be supportive with concrete actions and not limit it to just supportive words and sentiments.

But, for many women, that’s easier said than done.
IMHO she is quite unusually fortunate in having a husband like that and they’re not as easily found as she seems to indicate.

But props to her for acknowledging him in this way.
