To break the ubiquity of stereotypical images showing women in suits climbing ladders or smiling as they pour milk into their children’s cereal, Sheryl Sandberg’s organization Lean In has partnered with Getty Images, one of the biggest providers of stock photography, to offer a collection of images that will represent women and families in more empowering ways — such as this girl in front of a computer.  “When we see images of women and girls and men, they often fall into the stereotypes that we’re trying to overcome, and you can’t be what you can’t see,” said Sandberg.  Take a look at this slideshow on The New York Times.
