Sheryl Sandberg Quote
Professional ambition is expected of men but is optional—or worse, sometimes even a negative—for women. She is very ambitious is not a compliment in our culture. Aggressive and hard-charging women violate unwritten rules about acceptable social conduct. Men are continually applauded for being ambitious and powerful and successful, but women who display these same traits often pay a social penalty. Female accomplishments come at a cost.
