“When a male colleague would say or do something she considered out of line, she would give him a pointed look, perhaps accompanied by an unamused laugh, and say something like, “Wait, did you really just say that?” The effect, Darbyshire said, was that “he knows you clocked him, but you’re not making a scene of it. But he also knows not to mess with you.”

“The breakthrough we need is when we’re at a point where it’s socially unacceptable for a panel or conference or boardroom to be all men,” she said. “The breakthrough will come when no one finds it acceptable when only one or two women are in anything. We’re not anywhere close to a place where there is true assumed equality.”

“After so many years, I was used to it. It was just another remark in a long, long list of offensive, obnoxious, ignorant, destructive things said to me and others by people with some power or sway. But the truth of the matter is this: It wasn’t OK. And it wasn’t OK for me to be OK with it. For me to put up with it. To laugh it off, to excuse it, to use it as a cocktail-party tale. It wasn’t OK for me. And it isn’t OK for my amazing nieces, for my brave colleagues, for the women coming up behind me.”

“McGinnis said her biggest challenge was her “never-ending quest to prove herself.” But what people remember most about her is how she managed to run a newsroom without ever appearing to order anyone around.”

“the most successful women adapt their approach, depending on the circumstances and the people with whom they’re dealing. Sometimes they speak out—loudly—and sometimes, like Kim Guthrie, they “lead from the back of the boat.”
