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.

More quotes by 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
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
The international community cannot stand by and watch the massacre of Libyan protesters. In Rwanda we watched. In Kosovo we acted.
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
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
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
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
I’d been part, albeit unwillingly, of making millions of women feel that they are to blame if they cannot manage to rise up the ladder as fast as men and also have a family and an active home life (and be thin and beautiful to boot).
Anne-Marie Slaughter
The societies that work build an infrastructure of care as well as an infrastructure of capitalism.
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
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
Only when women wield power in significant numbers will we create a society that genuinely works for all women … that will be a society that works for everyone.
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
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
My husband has spent more time with our children than I have. I don't think they're better or worse off.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Women still can't have it all.
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
Motherhood is a greater predictor of wage inequality than gender is. It's enormous.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I am still fully committed to male-female equality.
