Cry more, Nod less

Jennifer Palmieri

"It's okay to cry in the work place. Women need to nod less and cry more--not try to be like men" says Jennifer Palmieri on MSNBC.

She's referencing the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign and how she nodded when criticized at some points in debates and how she was criticized for crying.  The advice then was not to be too emotional and "act like a woman" or appear "weak."

Her new book is Dear Madame President.

It's addressed to the next women presidents who are growing up now--such as Emma Gonzalez of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and Naomi Wadler, the 11-year-old who spoke at the March for Our Lives in Washington D.C.

These empowered young women are changing how women feel and act in the workplace and in campaigns for electoral office.
