More quotes by 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
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
Our approach [to global security] has changed by the way we've elevated development. The biggest lesson is to recognize global responsibility.
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
Patriotism demands the ability to feel shame as much as to feel pride.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
A man has to define himself as a breadwinner, as opposed to thinking that well, women used to be caregivers who also wanted to have careers men have always had careers, so why shouldn't they also want much more family 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
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
The societies that work build an infrastructure of care as well as an infrastructure of capitalism.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
In the end, no matter how much you love your work, your work will not love you back.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Young men keep telling me they don't 'have it all' either. And they may have a point. But if you define 'having it all' as the opportunity to have a successful career and a family, I'd say this. When a man tells his coworkers he's going to have a child, no one asks him how he'll manage or if he'll be coming back to work.
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
If we're going to have better choices for women, we've got to have better choices for men.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
