A very long time ago, my mother picked me up from my kindergarten class in P.S. 153 Brooklyn, NY. The teacher pulled her aside to say, “Tina is a boss.”
That is why I found today’s WSJ article, Don’t Call Us Bossy, by Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez so fascinating. I encourage women who have been called bossy, or anyone with daughters who are called bossy to read this article.
They discuss the word bossy which is the PG rated B word used before you enter the workforce, where assertive women are called the PG13 rated B word.
Serendipitous timing as today, March 8th, is International Women’s Day. Read inspiring, empowering, or amusing quotes from women who have paved the way, and others who believe in women. Also watch the video by Google.
Women who seek to be equal to men lack ambition.

Here’s a thought as we work through the alphabet of adjectives. Let’s skip to the L word and call our girls Leaders.
