  She's a woman.

    It's hard to untangle the sexist ranting from the actual critique. Submitted article is saying that she should have taken more maternity leave in order to make it culturally acceptable within Yahoo for other parents to take that leave. (That's a good point, and is probably true.) But if she had taken more leave we'd have had a bunch of articles saying why she's terrible for taking that much leave. The future people will want to know why her PR is so terrible; and will be able to see a bit more clearly whether what she did was useful or not.

      I'm not sure it's a sexist ranting though. Zuckerberg just faced a similar criticism (about the precedent he is setting by only taking half the allotted time). I suspect that most CEOs would face criticisms if they were about to spin-off the primary business and become a holding company for international stocks (very few people would have defined that as a success before Meyer stepped in).

  Her career (stints at Google and Yahoo) as described on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marissa_Mayer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marissa_Mayer ) and mentioned several times in Eric Schmidt's book "How Google Works".
