“My tremendous interest in understanding people is what inspired me to be a leader—what motivates them, what discourages them, how to get the best results from them. And my overwhelming urge to find solutions and fix things, which I have found to be much better received in professional settings than personal settings.”
As a woman who grew up with Barbie, what was your reaction to Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” movie? My closest childhood friend was my brother, who was a year older than me. As a result, many of my childhood games were the ones traditionally liked by boys: electronic football and baseball, Battleship, Legos, Risk. Then, as now, I didn’t understand the fascination with Barbie, and though I love any effort to promote and celebrate all the greatness of women, I don’t agree that another gender should be ridiculed as a result. Build up. For an uplifting and inspiring movie about gender equality, I recommend “On the Basis of Sex” about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s experience.
