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.

More quotes by Anne-Marie Slaughter
I am still fully committed to male-female equality.
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
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
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
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
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
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
Biological sex should not determine what we are capable of, what we aspire to, what we do in our life.
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
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’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
If we're going to have better choices for women, we've got to have better choices for men.
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 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 international community cannot stand by and watch the massacre of Libyan protesters. In Rwanda we watched. In Kosovo we acted.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
When I used to teach civil procedure as a law professor, I would begin the year by telling my students that “civil procedure is the etiquette of ritualized battle.” The phrase, which did not originate with me, captured the point that peaceful, developed societies resolve disputes by law rather than by force.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
We all love narratives where we're the captain of our boat, and Americans love them more than anybody else.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Women still can't have it all.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
In the end, no matter how much you love your work, your work will not love you back.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
