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.

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
Patriotism demands the ability to feel shame as much as to feel pride.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Someone must transform income into the food, shelter, clothing, nurture, discipline, education, minding, nursing, transportation, and emotional support that creates life outside of the office, permits survival of the race, cares for the ill and disabled, and makes life livable when we can no longer care for ourselves.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
The European problem is that it assumes that the minute a woman has a child, the mother identity subsumes the professional identity. Now she's the mother, above all, and we must give her all this time.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Do not vote for Hillary [Clinton] because she is a woman. Ask yourself, who has done more for women so far and who will do more for women in the future - and then make your choice.
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
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
Biological sex should not determine what we are capable of, what we aspire to, what we do in our life.
Anne-Marie Slaughter

Anne-Marie Slaughter
