“A circle of women leaders may be the most powerful force known to humanity”
Let me start by stating that the title of this assignment is not my own creation. Quoted from Sheryl Sandberg’s book ‘Lean In’ it states all that I want to touch upon in this write up and a lot more. Women and our issues is one of the most talked about topics in the world today. This situation has been reached not due to the lack of anything else to talk about but because of its extreme necessity.
We have come a long way as women – from not having basic rights to having a female president in our country. Unfortunately for the past decade the progress made by women has more or less stagnated. …show more content…

This does not mean that we are biased towards them but neither does this mean that we ignore them. There was a time when the ‘queen bee’ theory was truly applicable. Women at the top made sure that the other women didn’t make it up there. They wanted to have it all for themselves. Fortunately, those days are gone. So women and men should stand up for women.
Owning one’s success is key to achieving more success. As women this is what we need to embrace. The world has been run by men all this while and they have not been doing a bad job but with us up there, there will be a big improvement – undoubtedly. Thus if we want to be up there with the men and the 0.00001% of women we need to do one simple thing:
Lean In!

How can women be strong leaders at work without being labeled as “Bossy” or viewed as less likable than their male peers? If men use authoritative voice they are seen as leaders but when women who use an authoritative voice in a work environment they’re appear to be “Bossy”. In the short essay by Deborah Tannen called “Bossy” Is More Than a Word to Women”, she gives us a look at how the boys and girls behave with the same sex gender and how this issue still occurs when they become adults. And how girls who are being “Bossy” towards other girls can cause a negative effects for them. An option could be banning the word “Bossy” but could it really solve the problem for women?

When The Declaration of Independence was ratified in 1776, it declared that “all men are created equal”, but it did not mention anything about women. That is why on July 1848, The Declaration of Sentiments was initiated as headstrong movement of women protesting for better rights. In the process of this powerful movement, the women were on a mission to correct The Declaration of Independence by listing out the many ways of how women do not have equal rights as men and demanded equality with men before the law, in education, and in employment. Unfortunately, even though society has evolved over time, men and women are still treated unfairly. The difference in social expectation between men and women is astounding.

In her 2013 book “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead,” Sheryl Sandberg argues the stance that people need to take initiative and “Lean In” throughout all aspects of life. Sandberg takes the stance that women deserve equality in the workplace, women in leadership roles, and high political roles. Sandberg acts as a launching pad for Rosa Brooks and Elizabeth Bruenig, who analyze and argue her stance, because Sandberg’s writing gets the conversation started. Brooks and Bruenig take different ideas and points from Sandberg to form their own persuasion of why “Leaning In” may not be the most ideal approach. They also use Sheryl Sandberg’s title in their articles because it acts as their hook and catches the audiences attention to consider their point of view.

I strongly feel that this is an attitude which within the youth work we can change and show the young people that although this is how they have felt, this is not true. Each month the young people help to plan and run an evening service called VOX – Voice of the People. It is a space in which people can share their experiences and learn together.

Vanessa stated that “any woman working will experience this balancing family life with work life.” Tara state that women will let the stigmas and stereotypes define them and society's view on femininity.” Dashauna state that “the issues women face is that they don’t get taken seriously, the leadership roles/positions, and society feel that women are not as intelligent enough to be in a position of leadership because that is a man’s place to be authorities.” This made me realize that women in leadership position will struggle with balancing work and family, not be taken seriously and do not let the stigma and stereotypes define them. Based on this, I can infer that women leader need to be confident, accept criticism, and do not accept society

Along with this workplace issue, women also face leadership issues and are not able to achieve high success in their career. In many political and professional leadership opportunities, women are still underrepresented. Six out of ten women say that sometimes it is hard for them to picture themselves as leaders.

Women. Women’s involvement in the working world have contributed to many items that would be missing from the world today; if they had not been allowed to work.. Women have struggled with sexism in the workplace since before they were even given the chance to try to work. They were taught from a young age that their job was to provide children, cook, and clean for their husbands, while the husband worked and provided the money. What men did not know however was that women were capable of so much more(Jewell, Hannah).

Over the past 40 years defenders of women’s right have worked hard to assure growth of women's careers, trying to contest what is attribute as ‘the glass ceiling’ which is the invisible barriers that control woman from rising to top positions in corporate context.

In her widely watched 2010 TED talk “Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders” (currently with more than 1.5 million views) Sheryl Sandberg, currently Chief Operating Officer of Facebook (and the first woman to serve on Facebook's board) and formerly Vice President at Google, shares her experience of being one of the rare women in top global management positions and offers advice to women who would like to succeed in their corporate careers. In the 15-minute video, Sandberg asks how we can fix the problem of having too few women in top leadership positions in spite of many advances in women’s rights being made. She argues that the solution lies with women themselves, as individuals, and the messages they need to tell themselves and their daughters. This entails three steps: (1) ‘sit at the table’, meaning women should negotiate for themselves more assertively and stop underestimating their abilities; (2) ‘make your partner a real partner’ and establish shared/equal responsibilities between partners at home (i.e. with raising children and housework); and (3) ‘don’t ‘leave’ before you leave’, which means continuing to work at the best of your abilities (i.e. ‘leaning in’ instead of ‘leaning back’ when the possibility of having a child is entertained) until
