- Sheryl Sandberg

About this Quote

In this quote, Sheryl Sandberg, the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, is highlighting a major challenge that women face in their careers. She states that the biggest barrier to ladies achieving success in the workforce is no longer external elements such as discrimination or absence of opportunities, however rather something that exists within their own homes. Sandberg is most likely describing the traditional gender functions and expectations that still exist in numerous households, where ladies are anticipated to take on most of home and childcare responsibilities. This can restrict their ability to completely dedicate to their professions and reach their full capacity. Sandberg's declaration clarifies the requirement for social and cultural changes to support ladies in their professional pursuits.
