More quotes by Anne-Marie Slaughter
I see much less of an ambition gap and much more of a workplace and society that isn't allowing us to use the talent that is multiplied well beyond this room ... There are millions of women out there who ... need more than, Honey, you can do it if you try hard enough.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
In foreign policy, even if you hold high office, you can't be sure what the effects will be of the things you do.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
In the end, no matter how much you love your work, your work will not love you back.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Motherhood is a greater predictor of wage inequality than gender is. It's enormous.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Patriotism demands the ability to feel shame as much as to feel pride.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
The societies that work build an infrastructure of care as well as an infrastructure of capitalism.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I am convinced that this country is ready to have a woman in the White House, but I also think there's still a lot of hidden sexism.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
The false pride of perennial celebration, of wearing flag lapel pins while betraying the values that the flag stands for, is like the self-esteem curriculum for toddlers, where everything is praised and no achievement ultimately has meaning.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
The American work environment has to change, not the women. We should be recognizing that what women are not fitting into is a very narrow, male-dominated workplace of the 1950s.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
If we're going to have better choices for women, we've got to have better choices for men.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
There's a tremendous loss of talent to businesses who cannot make room for their employees to attend to family responsibilities. It really amounts to corporate waste: They hire really talented women and then lose them because they can't find ways to keep them productive and content the minute they can't lean in.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
The international community cannot stand by and watch the massacre of Libyan protesters. In Rwanda we watched. In Kosovo we acted.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
What mothers need, as well as fathers, spouses, and the children of aging parents, is an entire national infrastructure of care, every bit as important as the physical infrastructure of roads, bridges, tunnels, broadband, parks and public works.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I very much admire Sheryl Sandberg for what she has done. I really do. But Sandberg's narrative also implies: Well, it's your fault if you couldn't make it. There is a certain injustice in that.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I think an awful lot of the reasons people put forward for not liking Hillary Clinton play into deep-seated, negative female stereotypes: ambition, secrecy, calculating. I mean, that is Lady Macbeth, a kind of cold woman. I don't think that's Hillary. And I don't think people would judge a man in the same way.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
We should be proud of our country when we have done something to be proud of, when we have lived up to our own standards. But the flip side of genuine pride is being able to recognize when we have fallen short, and to hold ourselves to account.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Having it all means having the same work and family choices that men do. It doesn't mean having everything that you want. No one has that.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Over my lifetime, women have demonstrated repeatedly that they can do anything that men can do, while still managing traditional women's work at the same time. But the same expansion of roles has not been available to men.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Believe it or not, we will actually be better and happier workers if we are allowed to be better parents. We might even rediscover our capacity for fun.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I'm a child of the Cold War. You do not say, Oh, my God, there are Russian planes, so I'm going to cede the field. I mean, what kind of world would we have had if the United States had done that for 60 years?
Anne-Marie Slaughter
