ELLE US|October 2022

You Better Work

Some cosmic joke must be afoot because while I'm on the phone with Sarah Jaffe, Sheryl Sandberg announces she's stepping down from her powerful perch as the COO of Meta. The on-the-nose death knell of the Lean In era is appropriate because Jaffe and I are having an extremely real conversation about women and work. Her book Work Won't Love You Back examines the drawbacks of our culture's extreme devotion to the grind-pretty much the opposite of Sandberg's kick-down-the-C-suite-doors approach. And while she might not be your typical source for a fashion article, Jaffe's insight is coming in handy right now.
