Additional Post: Ban Bossy Movement

A part of Sheryl Sandberg's goals with her Lean-In book was to start a conversation about these issues and to also raise awareness that women's inequality in the workplace is still a big issue. Along with the book, there has followed a movement and her website helps promote women in leadership roles. In conjunction with this she has also started a Ban Bossy Movement aimed at young girls. It's an effort to help girls view leading as something more positive. She created this movement with the Girl Scouts and wants to promote it to young girls. There are a series of posters with facts about just how young women are taught that their voice is less important. I was surprised by some of the facts on the posters, especially one that talks about how statistically young girls are paid less for household chores. I think that this demonstrates why it is so for women especially to negotiate for a higher salary, when from a young age we're told our work is worth less.
