These issues have been brought up by society rather than reality in other words, women aren’t any less ambitious or capable as men but they’ve grown up in a world that emphasizes being pretty and agreeable over intelligent and successful. She believes that it is because of their internal barriers that make them hesitant to pursue positions of power and self doubt which makes them feel like they’re not good enough. In the first two chapters, Sandberg presents her argument about why women are less successful than men. Finally, she argues that in order to advance further toward gender equality, we need to let go of biased beliefs and open our minds so we can truly embrace change. Sandberg also discusses how people absorb sexist attitudes from the culture around them and internalize these ideas as their own. She uses statistics to prove that although there has been progress for women, they still have a long way to go before achieving equality with men. In this passage, Sandberg establishes the importance of her argument by talking about women’s status in society. Therefore, she urges women to take control of their careers and fight against gender inequality in order to reach full equality with men. She argues that women can only achieve equality in the workforce when they demand it for themselves.
