Back

There's a scene in the book where the author has her legs in stirrups, about to give birth for the first time, and Sheryl Sandberg demands talking points for a meeting with the Brazilian president. In the middle of her labour, she drags her laptop onto her labour bed and preps the meeting notes. She gives birth shortly afterwards.

Naturally, the real measure of a mother in the workplace is how invisible she can make her motherhood, never mentioning any struggle with her children.

Of course the same woman who suppresses any trace of maternal life in the office hosts women's day events.
