Sheryl Sandberg may be doing lots of promotion for her New York Times best-selling Lean In, and of course, pushing a pop culturally savvy catch phrase. But don’t get Sheryl wrong. She is still “leaning in” to her job over at the Facebook headquarters. Just ask her twenty-something hoody-clad boss. More
It’s true there is currently a price to pay for work-life balance, but it doesn’t mean we should have to contest with companies trying to take advantage of that desire to achieve balance by valuing facetime with real dollars that affect our bottom lines. More
After I found out I was pregnant with my third child, I decided to approach my boss about reducing my hours at the hospital where I work as a labor and delivery nurse. Her reaction, after subtly and offensively also quizzing me on my age? (27, in case you’re wondering.), was as follows.
“I don’t care if you go part-time,” she told me. “But I want you to know that if you do this, everyone will hate you. People will say you’re not a team player…” More
Here’s a way to get an immediate microphone in your face. Be a successful lady who happens to have kids and utter “working mom guilt.” Insta-press. Not that Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock need it. But it’s the easiest “these women are just like you” press gimmick out there. It’s practically #1 on the top 10 mommy soundtrack. Hit the ballad, ladies. More
I never thought I would be defending the recent comments of a certain billionaire made at U-Va’s McIntire School of Commerce, but here I am — Paul Tudor Jones got breastfeeding right. More
I can’t help but think people like Erickson are just grasping at straws to bolster their own confidence. I’m guessing he would feel emasculated if his own wife were to get a job outside the home, and this speaks volumes about his own weakness. If the only way a husband can feel powerful and successful is by keeping his wife and other women down, what does that say about him? More
Mommies are bringing home the cash monies like never before according to a new Pew Research Center study. Mothers are outearning their husbands in nearly one in four American homes. But that doesn’t necessarily translate to there being a ton more Sheryl Sandbergs among us. In fact, this data explicitly points to the non-Marissa Mayer class.

I love Gwyneth Paltrow. Even when I hate her, I love her, because in her moments of complete self-absorbed celebrity, she’s entertaining me. It’s like going to see Iron Man 3 without spending the $50 at the local AMC Theater. Â Today she’s taking a GOOP break to give us the insights into how on Earth she “does it all.” More
Paul Tudor Jones, hedge fund billionaire and macro trader, didn’t know he was being recorded when he spoke to audience of University of Virginia students and alumni, which might explain why he felt comfortable to say such despicable, sexist, anti-family remarks about mothers — and fathers. More

I’m completely jealous of one of my two best friends, who was a teen mom, and had her son at age 17. I met her in university when her son was a toddler. Her son has just graduated four years of a hard-ass business school and has landed his first “adult” job. My friend, now only 41, works as an editor-in-chief at a very well respected magazine and pretty much has her entire life back. She IS having the time of her life. More
I couldn’t help but feel personally attacked by Eve Vawter‘s piece on entrepreneur women and the empathy they don’t deserve when they dare find balancing their businesses and family difficult. I find myself in a very similar situation to Natalie Massenet, the founder of Net-a-Porter. Like Massenet, I have a new baby, a new business and a successful husband. Unlike Massenet, I also have a demanding 3-year-old. Also unlike Massenet, I don’t get to talk about this extremely difficult time in my life in retrospect. More
Oh the injustices that pregnant women can endure on the job — and by “women” I specifically don’t mean the Lean In crowd. Rich women of privilege may need to band together for the “having it all” parade, but some pregnant women can’t even use the bathroom on the job without employer scrutiny, such as Kristi Rifkin. More
I can’t believe I’m saying this in the year 2013, but from the results of this study it seems that jobs in medicine, engineering, the law or finance really are no jobs for women. More
Yes, being a working mom is hard no matter what your net worth is, but I think the blow can be cushioned a little by knowing you can afford to take a day off or simply afford to hire more employees or else buy yourself a nice little cheapo Alexander McQueen frock. While the rest of the working moms in the world celebrate by paying the water bill so they can take a hot shower, wheeeee! More
