We've ceased making progress at the top in any industry anywhere in the world . In the United States, women have had 14% of the top corporate jobs and 17% of the board seats for 10 years. Ten years of no progress.

We have to ask ourselves if we have become so focused on supporting personal choices that we're failing to encourage women to aspire to leadership.

The more women help one another, the more we help ourselves. Acting like a coalition truly does produce results. Any coalition of support must also include men, many of whom care about gender inequality as much as women do.

And anyway, who wears a tiara on a jungle gym?

The cost of stability is often diminished opportunities for growth.

Women systematically underestimate their own abilities.

Most people assume that women are responsible for households and child care. Most couples operate that way - not all. That fundamental assumption holds women back.
