I wish I were strong enough to ignore what others say, but experience tells me I often can't. Allowing myself to feel upset, even really upset, and then move on - that's something I can do.

Give us a world where half our homes are run by men and half our institutions are run by women. I'm pretty sure that would be a better world.

Let's have an honest conversation about what's going on. A man and a man at a bar looks like mentoring. A man and a woman at a bar looks like dating.

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.

If more women are in leadership roles, we'll stop assuming they shouldn't be.

The reason I wrote Lean In is I think people weren't actually noticing that we had stopped making progress. I gave a TED talk and said: "It turns out men still run the world." And the audience gasped as if that was news.

I want to tell any young girl out there who's a geek, I was a really serious geek in high school. It works out. Study harder.
