Fortune on women on technology who manage the life/work balance in well, innovative new ways.
"But the fact is, these women are vastly different from their predecessors who broke Silicon Valley's glass ceiling in the 1980s and '90s. Former CEOs Carly Fiorina of Hewlett-Packard and Meg Whitman of eBay hardly knew each other. "With us, it was heads down," says Whitman. She and Fiorina, who topped Fortune's Most Powerful Women list throughout the first eight years of its 11-year existence, didn't socialize with each other or much with other Valley stars."
"Unlike their predecessors, these next-generation women aren't interested in diligently climbing any corporate ladder. The 39-year-old Sandberg, who has taken on one of the toughest assignments in tech, has already moved from the World Bank to McKinsey to the U.S. Treasury to Google to Facebook."
"While the old guard tended toward househusbands (the case for Fiorina and a third of the other women on Fortune's Most Powerful list historically), the new women leaders have power marriages, young children, and lives tethered to tech."
