My hope in writing 'Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead' was to change the conversation from what women can't do to what we can.

It turns out that a husband who does the laundry, it's very romantic when you're older. And it's hard to believe when you're younger. But it's absolutely true.

Its time to cheer on girls and women who want to sit at the table

So there's no such thing as work-life balance. There's work, and there's life, and there's no balance.

A woman, if you're Most Intelligent or Most Likely to Succeed, that's an embarrassing thing. Or something that's not considered attractive, and I think that's what we need to change.

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.

Don't be afraid to ask the 'dumb' question, everyone else will be relieved you had the guts to ask!
