“I don't think about the gender thing very much. But when I speak at schools, I've had female students say to me afterwards, "I never envisioned myself being a director, since I've never seen women do it." But after seeing me, they can picture themselves directing, so maybe we'll see more female directors.” ThinkingSchoolSpeakSeeingStudentsDirectorsFemaleGender Author:Jennifer Yuh Nelson
“There aren't a lot of female story artists, and it's baffling to me. There are a lot of kids in school that are female and I wonder, 'Where did they all go?' People have brought it up, asking me, 'What did you do?' I don't really know. I puttered along, did my thing and gender has really never been an issue.” PeopleKnowsStoriesKidsSchoolArtistWonderIssuesFemaleAskingGender Author:Jennifer Yuh Nelson

“I gave a talk on gender stuff at Facebook one morning and a man didn't come. It was optional; he didn't have to come. But he sent a note saying, "I missed your meeting because I drove my kids to school so my wife could do something else. Thank you for making that possible." I think that employee is a loyal employee for Facebook and I think more companies should want that kind of loyalty.” ThinkingMenWantShouldKindKidsSchoolStuffCompanyMorningWifeMeetingsNotesGenderMy WifeLoyaltyEmployeeLoyalOptionalMissed YouI Missed You Author:Sheryl Sandberg
