Most people assume that women are responsible for households and child care. Most couples operate that way - not all. That fundamental assumption holds women back.

More quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
When we get feedback on women, we ask, Is that real or is that the gender bias at play? Everyone could start doing that today and I think we'd see really big results.
Sheryl Sandberg
There is no perfect fit when you're looking for the next big thing to do. You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around. The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.
Sheryl Sandberg
And anyway, who wears a tiara on a jungle gym?
Sheryl Sandberg
Let's acknowledge that men reach for opportunities more quickly and more easily than women. So often as managers, we give the job to whoever starts solving the problem, to whoever jumps in. Since we know men will jump in faster than women in so many circumstances, we have to slow down and encourage more women to sit at more tables.
Sheryl Sandberg
I probably shouldn't admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books.
Sheryl Sandberg
We know that the only way to achieve equality is if both men and women want to achieve equality. We also know that equality is not just the right thing to do for men, it is a good thing to do.
Sheryl Sandberg
Our aspirations are really for women to be in half the leadership roles and men to be doing half the work of parenting.
Sheryl Sandberg
When the man is traveling with a man, he says, Let's stay up late and work on this and get this to be better. When the man's traveling with the woman, for the sake of appearances he doesn't do the work with her. That's a lost opportunity for her to be a success.
Sheryl Sandberg
I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple.
Sheryl Sandberg
It's more pressure on women to - if they marry or partner with someone, to partner with the right person. Because you cannot have a full career and a full life at home with your children if you are also doing all of the housework and child care.
Sheryl Sandberg
But I really believe that when you give people authentic identity, which is what Facebook does, and you can be your real self and connect with real people online, things will change.
Sheryl Sandberg
We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.
Sheryl Sandberg
Don't let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face-and there will be barriers-be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold, and I promise that you will never know what you're capable of unless you try.
Sheryl Sandberg
...parents who work outside the home are still capable of giving their children a loving and secure childhood. Some data even suggest that having two parents working outside the home can be advantageous to a child's development, particularly for girls.
Sheryl Sandberg
When companies offer support and assistance for personal and family hardships, their employees become more loyal and more productive.
Sheryl Sandberg
We know when we use the full talents of our population we're more productive. And we know that when people really feel like they can have flexible lives, they're better employees.
Sheryl Sandberg
What I tell everyone, and I really do for myself is, I have a long-run dream, which is I want to work on stuff that I think matters.
Sheryl Sandberg
I just believed. I believed that the technology would change people's lives. I believed putting real identity online - putting technology behind real identity - was the missing link.
Sheryl Sandberg
Give us a world where half our homes are run by men and half our institutions are run by women. I'm pretty sure that would be a better world.
Sheryl Sandberg
I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
Sheryl Sandberg
