"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's quote speaks to the trouble of encouraging girls to think in themselves and to promote for their own success. It is inadequate to just inform them to do so; they need to be empowered to take ownership of their own success. Sandberg expresses her desire to be able to inform this to the young women she works with, along with her own daughter, however acknowledges that it is not a basic task. It needs a shift in state of mind and a desire to take threats, which can be hard for many females. Sandberg's quote functions as a suggestion that we need to continue to support and empower young women to believe in themselves and to take ownership of their own success.
