In the imagine stage, my group and I read the book Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg, the former CFO of Google, and the current CFO of Facebook. The book was really interesting for us because it outlined strategies and ways that women could encourage each other to stand up for themselves and what kind of behavior would help them advance in the workplace and get the resources and necessities that they need. One solution that we came across was making sure that every workplace gives paid maternity and paternity leave so that women are encouraged to return to their jobs. Also, equal pay is a neccessity for women who are providing for their families. In the imagine stage we read many articles about the Equal Rights Amendment, which would provide women with the same legal status. All of this really contributed to how we narrowed down on what we wanted to do for the “do” stage and the “share” stage.
