Where I file and list all the good stuff for you:

– Latina’s Magazine top 9 must-reads of 2012 here

– Cheryl Sandberg on Gender Stereotypes in the Workplace:

“We hold ourselves back in ways both big and small, by lacking self-confidence, by not raising our hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in,” Sandberg writes in the book, called “Lean In.” – via NYTimes

“As a woman becomes more successful, she is less liked, and as a man becomes more successful, he is more liked, and that starts with those T-shirts.” She blasted managers who unconsciously reflect stereotypes when they judge women’s performance, saying: “She’s great at her job but she’s just not as well liked by her peers,” or: “She’s a bit aggressive.” via the Guardian

– I found this so interesting when I studied it for my Anthropology major – Drug Doses and the Gender Gap – via NYTimes
