What is the role of women in the world? According to many men, women's place is at home and not at work. This idea of ​​the role of women has been defended since the beginning of our civilization; Even after centuries and having obtained the right to participate in work, women are still not at the same level as men. They are by no means equal as there are huge disparities in the workplace that separate women from men. An example would be the huge difference in the ratio between male and female executives. The cause of this huge difference in the number of women in leadership positions is the lack of support women receive from family, peers and male leaders. This lack of support is highlighted in the book Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg. In this book, Sandberg reviews the various ways women have been discouraged from reaching higher positions in any type of industry. She explains how women can develop courage and create more equal opportunities in the workplace. Taking risks and creating work opportunities is defined as the only way to achieve what you want in the workplace, but I don't think this is true because in many cases different factors contribute to success or the failure of a person's career. No offense to Sheryl Sandberg, but I think it takes a lot more to reach a high position within a company. From a different perspective, Sandberg, who was upper-middle class, was raised in a white, affluent family. However, the majority of Americans are lower middle class and lower class. This means that we need to consider different factors that affect the type of career you will choose...... middle of paper ...... phrase coined by the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority: "If you see some something, say something". If you see that there is an unequal divide in the workplace between women and men, then women should speak up about it, just like Sheryl did with Google when she wanted a parking reserved for pregnant women Women should be able to raise their hands, sit at the table and not fear the men in the room with them. Instead of standing aside and listening quietly, they should. sit down and express their opinions on the subject Even though we know what women can do to better equip themselves and propel themselves to the higher ranks, this does not mean that this feat will be accomplished in a few years. decades, but when women explain why they are not in the highest ranks, then they will be able to advance to higher positions..
