Stock photos, which come from image databases and are often used in advertisements or magazine articles can be really outdated when it comes to images of women. Search "women" and "work" and you'll find lots of photos of women cleaning their houses and baking.
To try to remedy the problem, Sheryl Sandberg's nonprofit organization, LeanIn.org, is announcing on Monday a partnership with Getty Images, one of the biggest providers of stock photography. They're offering a special collection of images that they say represent women and families in more empowering ways. The new collection depicts women across a wide spectrum of ages, races and professions.
