吃货君最近读了Facebook首席运营官Sheryl Sandberg的Lean In：Women, Work, and the Will to Lead，发现这不是一本普通的鸡汤，于是忍不住想要推荐给大家。吃货君是通过TED演讲知道Sheryl Sandberg的。在题为Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders?的演讲中，Sheryl提到的一组数据引起了吃货君对gender issue的关注：“Women are not making it to the top of any profession anywhere in the world. The numbers tell the story quite clearly. 190 heads of state – nine are women. Of all the people in parliament in the world, 13 percent are women. In the corporate sector, women at the top, C-level jobs, board seats -- tops out at 15, 16 percent. The numbers have not moved since 2002 and are going in the wrong direction. And even in the non-profit world, a world we sometimes think of as being led by more women, women at the top: 20 percent.”
