[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about the countless women who balance all that they need to do.  Who work their asses off and end up as GS-15s, supervisors, VPs., accounting/law/finance partners.  How about the career school teachers who despite the low pay and lack of prestige somehow manage to live a fulfilling life and participate in their own families.  How about just everyday people who are not rockstars but nonetheless find themselves at the top of their personal and professional heap.  It doesn't matter if its the highest peak out there.  How about them as role models?[/quote]
Well said indeed.

I personally was quite disturbed when I saw Sandberg's countless media appearances and interviews promoting her new book in the past week or so - it made me wonder at what point in the last two years (even less!) she went "gee, I can get a book deal out of this". 
She might be a wonderful person and her new book might indeed be helpful to many of her readers but somehow this culture of endless self-promotion in some ...err... "role models" just rubs me the wrong way.[/quote]
