Gender Bias By the Numbers

摘要

It's a cultural marker of sorts when a major Hollywood studio buys the film rights to a self-help book, in this case Sheryl Sandberg's bestseller Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. Sony Pictures has hired a screenwriter to fictionalize Sandberg's tale of the lessons she learned adapting to the male-dominated world of Silicon Valley, where she's risen to chief operating officer at Facebook. The central message is an uplifting one: A killer work ethic and unflagging drive can lead to success, even if men still set the rules of engagement in the corporate world.
