Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook, asked some pertinent questions at the women in the world summit in New York on Friday.
She said: "In every area, women have steadily made progress—except at the top. Where are we? Are we stalled?"
She also noted that, in 1962, the then-editor of the New York Times said: "No woman will ever be editor of the New York Times."
Enter Jill Abramson, executive editor of the Times and the first woman to hold that position, with a modest response: "In our newsroom, nearly 40% of senior editors and managers are women, and then, of course, there's me."
