Sheryl Sandberg on How Women Hold Themselves Back

Sheryl Sandberg believes women are held back by others and by themselves. Have you ever held yourself back because of how you perceived your role? Share your stories below.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook CCO, asks why we don’t think it’s natural for women to lead. To help counteract that stereotype, it’s important to recognize the contributions of women leaders. The Museum’s Fellows Award program honors both men and women leaders who have changed the world. Recent fellow Margaret Hamilton, recognized for her leadership and work on software for DOD and NASA's Apollo space missions, is included in the Museum’s self-guided Women In Computing tour. The Museum offers Women in Computing docent talks every Friday in March at 2 pm and on alternate Fridays the rest of the year. Visit us and join one!
