Happy Easter Sunday! Hope everyone’s enjoying today (and refraining from drowning in chocolate)! As you’re looking for that last piece of chocolate, here are the news that made us smile, laugh, and shake our heads this week:
- In awesome news this week, the Daily Show has a new host, and although it’s not a woman (sorry, I had to say that), it happens to be one of my favorite comedians, South African Trevor Noah! Can’t wait!;
- In less exciting (and actually rather unnerving news), former Kleiner Perkins partner Ellen Pao lost her case against the firm; however, Mashable confirms despite loss, Ellen Pao succeeded in calling out subtle sexism;
- Speaking of subtle (or not so much) sexism, this NY Times article virulently denounces the bias against women’s appearances vs. their talents;
- To make it a tad bit better, Fast Company lists 13 companies with remarkable perks (including a $4,000 newborn baby cash at Facebook, yes, talk about an incentive to procreate);
- This post by Bullish Jennifer Dziura in the Muse had me jumping in my seat in agreement: let’s ban “working mom” from the English vocabulary, or for any vocabulary for that matter;
- Apparently, some people are pissed more people of color are represented in the media, as revealed by Feministing (and we’re not sharing our chocolates with them);
- Fortune asks the 40 under 40 for advice they would give their 20-year old selves (and here’s my personal version);
- Speaking of advice, Forbes answers one key question for millenials: what to do with your 401k when switching jobs;
- The Wall Street Journal introduces us to In Her Sight, a company rating companies according to how they treat women (and we love the idea);
- The Guardian reveals new research suggesting what women really want is not so much flexibility, but rather power (yes, even is we tend to ask ourselves, “‘Mo power, ‘mo problems“);
- To end up on an inspirational note, enjoy these 100 leadership quotes, courtesy of Inc.
Happy Easter Sunday!
