[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was it really that easy back then? Sandburg was 9th in her public high school class and got accepted to Harvard. Did she do something extraordinary like ranked tennis player??

Her dad went to Hopkins and was an Ophthalmologist, so they were full pay I’m sure that helped. [/quote]

Well, clearly she turned out to be quite the achiever, i.e. Harvard "material," and accomplished more than 99% of other Harvard grads.

That is probably about 90% because Summers guided her path.

She went to McKinsey, then worked in ad sales at Google in the highest growth phase. She has been the queen of right place right time.

She is quite capable, but coming from a wealthy family and attending Ivy League she is not earth shattering. I appreciate her efforts on women in workforce.  [/quote]

Largely agree, though I think her "Lean In" book lacks any perspective on women in the workforce save those coming from wealthy families, are married, and now also have a high HHI.

DH worked with her when she was at treasury and he was on the Hill. Described her as being as charming as her boss. [/quote]
