Sheryl Sandberg (L), Anne-Marie Slaughter (R)
There was no shortage this year of high-profile takes on balancing work and family. Anne-Marie Slaughter made waves in a piece in the Atlantic titled “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All.” Not long before, Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg caused buzz when she gutsily announced that she leaves work each day at 5:30 to eat dinner with her kids. She’s been doing it for years, but the admission was a long time coming. “I would say it’s not until the last year, two years that I’m brave enough to talk about it publicly,” she told Makers.com, which has compiled video clips of trailblazing women. Slaughter says you can’t have it all, while Sandberg looks like she does have it all. No wonder we’re confused.
