We call our little girls bossy. Go to a playground; little girls get called bossy all the time - a word that's almost never used for boys - and that leads directly to the problems women face in the workforce.
— 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.
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.
It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.
Until women are as ambitious as men, they're not gong to achieve as much as men.
I remember specifically, in the summer of 2002, the rate of women infected with HIV/AIDS was beginning to match the rate of men, and nobody was talking about it. It was as if it was on nobody else's radar. I had made up my mind to do something about it.
— Sheryl Lee Ralph
The history of fan fiction demonstrates how efficient, and effective, women have been at pooling together to get what they want out of their stories. It's been a largely female-driven world.
— Sherwood Smith
There is a fundamental difference between men and women - women need romance, men need intrigue.
— Sherry Argov
I think that white women are more apt to read laterally. So I think there's some strong identification for women, and their political and social positions, and minorities. I think that the political power of, let's say, the average Indian man and a white woman are pretty equal.
— Sherman Alexie
I don't usually get to play sophisticated women. I usually do the old scrubs, chavs or slappers.
— Sheridan Smith
The Lord needed the strength of the women of this Church as the seeds of the Restoration were planted and nourished.
— Sheri L. Dew
Motherhood is more than bearing children, though it is certainly that. It is the essence of who we are as women. It defines our very identity, our divine stature and nature, and the unique traits our Father gave us.
Satan understands the power of men and women united in righteousness. He is still stinging from his banishment into eternal exile after Michael led the hosts of heaven, comprised of valiant men and women united in the cause of Christ, against him.
I represent the small businesses, the women, and the families working so hard to rebuild our communities.
— Sher Valenzuela
I do like playing smart women who can be sexy and are taken seriously.
— Shenaz Treasury
I want a partner in crime and a Bonnie to my Clyde. I've just been so focused on my career. Women don't like being number two, so I've been glad to keep my distance so I could focus on me, get my life together and take care of my mom without disappointing the woman I love.
— Shemar Moore
Women's sprinting is something the sport should appreciate more.
— Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.
If you ask men why they did a good job, they'll say, 'I'm awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?' If you ask women why they did a good job, what they'll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.
Women are not making it to the top. A hundred and ninety heads of state; nine are women. Of all the people in parliament in the world, thirteen per cent are women. In the corporate sector, women at the top - C-level jobs, board seats - tops out at fifteen, sixteen per cent.
I have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.
Over the last 10 years, women have stalled out at the top.
I have been around for a long, long time. I didn't make it 'til I was older. I went through the period when women were not getting signed, particularly if you were writing songs that were lyrically propelled.
— Sheryl Crow
What is interesting to me is looking at how male and female writers depict men who, come in behind to fill those domestic duties, deal with personal and cultural lack of respect for doing what is lingeringly perceived as 'women's work.'
Hard-working men and women who have made America the strongest nation in the world are betrayed by Washington's trade policy.
— Sherrod Brown
I hope maybe somehow I won't be in this business all my life, and I won't be one of those women that's trying to, you know, save what she looks like... My work is about something completely different. It's about what's inside.
— Sherilyn Fenn
I'm not sure a world run by women would be any better. They're human beings!
— Sheri S. Tepper
For reasons known to the Lord, some women are required to wait to have children. This delay is not easy for any righteous woman. But the Lord's timetable for each of us does not negate our nature.
Sisters, we as women are not diminished by priesthood power - we are magnified by it. I know this is true, for I have experienced it again and again.
Men and women who sell their birthright for a mess of pottage will tell you that their demise began with something small, with some seemingly insignificant breach of integrity that escalated. The little things do matter. It is not possible to profess righteousness while flirting with sin.
Women should be able to choose where they want to work in the industry and how they want to be represented on screen.
It is really sad, as Delhi is our capital and one of the most beautiful places in India, but if a city can't make its women feel safe, then everything else is worthless.
Although I have a lot of close female friends in my life, my number one is still my mom. Without her, I wouldn't have the values that I have and see the world the way that I do today. She taught me how to appreciate and respect women. She taught me chivalry and how to love a woman and respect their feelings and emotions.
It's Jamaican women and children who are my inspiration.
We've got to get women to sit at the table.
The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.
For any of us in this room today, let's start out by admitting we're lucky. We don't live in the world our mothers lived in, our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited.
I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
I love directors who aren't going back to the stereotypes, who are helping write and create roles for women that are not in the typical Hollywood box. I'm very, very interested in films that are going outside of stereotypical roles for women.
— Sheryl Lee
In my generation, if a man washes the dishes, the older women still tend to cluster around and coo and thank him and praise him. But if a woman washes the dishes, it's business as usual, even if both man and woman have tough office jobs.
Female authors were still using male names when I was young, or they were neatly shoehorned into 'women's books' except for those few that men could always point at when the disparity was pointed out.
Our men and women in uniform make enough sacrifices for our country. Their credit rating should not be one of those sacrifices.
Women do feel like they're in a box. Society, Hollywood, some men-they want to wrap women up in a neat little package.
The vision is to restore Avon to an iconic beauty brand and to our leadership position in global direct selling, as well as continuing to ensure that we live up to our mission of empowering women.
— Sheri McCoy
Motherhood is not what was left over after our Father blessed His sons with priesthood ordination. It was the most ennobling endowment He could give His daughters, a sacred trust that gave women an unparalleled role in helping His children keep their second estate.
Neither man nor woman is perfect or complete without the other. Thus, no marriage or family, no ward or stake is likely to reach its full potential until husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, men and women work together in unity of purpose, respecting and relying upon each other's strengths.
It is by letting the world go and coming unto Christ that we increasingly live as women of God.
I hate when they portray women as just sex symbols in short skirts, running around playing dumb. I refuse to watch such films or be in such films.
We women are the same: I am always more attracted to the dangerous mystery man with piercing eyes and stubble rather than the clean-shaven 'puppy dog' type who is probably much better for me in the long run.
I'm glad women's sprinting is taking the course it is.
