8am Couch Chat: Ambition is a Dirty Word

CHARLOTTE, NC — Reese Witherspoon is challenging the way women are taught to think about ambition.

In an essay she wrote for Glamour Magazine, she says ‘ambition’ is seen as a dirty word for women.

She went on to write about a study that showed women with ambition were often seen as selfish, and likely not to get hired for a job, even if a guy had the same traits.
