Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Sheryl Sandberg wants to send you to boot camp, Uber’s pledge to hire one million female drivers hits a pothole and Twitter joins the ranks of Silicon Valley companies facing a gender bias lawsuit. Read on to learn which woman the majority of you would like to see on the $20 bill. Have a productive Monday.
EVERYONE'S TALKING
• Future first lady? With Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) announcing his presidential bid this morning, this Buzzfeed profile of his wife, Heidi Cruz, is a timely read. Despite her struggle with depression, Heidi has had an impressive career, and is now a managing director at Goldman Sachs. How would she take to life as first lady? At least one of her former colleagues has his doubts. “I just didn’t see her as making her career about her husband," says economist Brock Blomberg, who worked with Heidi at the Department of the Treasury. "I see her as being a lot deeper than that.”
ALSO IN THE HEADLINES
• Are push-ups required? Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen have created a two-day boot camp designed to arm women and minorities with the knowledge to take seats on corporate and start-up boards. The first class of 40 completed the course this month. Bloomberg
• A new money honey. Columnist Gail Collins weighs in on the move to put a woman on the $20 bill. She notes that the only woman to appear on U.S paper currency is Martha Washington, who is best known for, well, being the wife of a powerful man. Not exactly inspiring. Women on 20s, a website devoted to the movement, has gotten more than 100,000 votes for which female face should replace Andrew Jackson's. Last week, I asked who you think should grace the $20. You sent tons of great suggestions (e.g., abolitionist Sojourner Truth, women's rights activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low), but the clear winner was the incomparable Eleanor Roosevelt. Good pick! New York Times
• Monica speaks. The video of Monica Lewinsky's much-discussed TED talk on "public shaming as a blood sport" is up. More than 720,000 people have watched it so far, and the TED audience gave her a standing ovation. What do you think: Does it live up to the hype?
• That was quick. Just eight days after UN Women partnered with Uber on its promise to hire one million women drivers by 2020, the gender equality organization has backed away. The issue? The UN group came under pressure from the International Transport Workers Federation, a labor union organization, which said the jobs would be "insecure and unsafe.” I doubt Fortune's Claire Zillman is particularly surprised. Buzzfeed
• Pao wins one. A San Francisco Superior Court judge has ruled that Ellen Pao is permitted to seek punitive damages in her gender discrimination suit against VC firm Kleiner Perkins. To receive punitive damages, Pao’s legal team would have to convince the jury that she was treated maliciously. The defense has rested its case, and the trial is now entering its final stages. Need to catch up before closing arguments? TechCrunch has a summary of everything that happened last week.
• The suits keep coming. Tina Huang, a former software engineer at Twitter, has filed a class action lawsuit claiming the social media company's promotion process unlawfully favors men. Huang claims she was overlooked for a promotion and ultimately let go after she complained about it. Twitter, for its part, says that Huang left voluntarily. The Verge
• The new chick flick. Women ticket buyers have now delivered the three biggest live-action movie openings of the year. The audience for “The Divergent Series: Insurgent,” which took in an estimated $54 million this weekend, was 60% female. On opening weekend, women made up 67% of the crowd at “Fifty Shades of Grey,” and 66% at “Cinderella.” Maybe now Hollywood will finally start making movies with women in mind? New York Times
• Email bounces back into the headlines. A House committee that's investigating the 2012 attack on the United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya is looking though roughly 300 emails from Hillary Clinton’s private account. The messages provide no evidence that Clinton took part in a cover-up. However, they do show that she sometimes corresponded with top aides using their personal email accounts, raising questions about her assertions that she made it her practice to email aides at their government addresses so the messages would be preserved.

MPW INSIDER MONDAYS
Each week, Fortune asks our Insider Network — an online community of prominent people in business and beyond — for career and leadership advice. Here's some of the best of what we heard this week.
• Channel Taylor Swift. Beth Comstock, senior vice president and CMO of General Electric, has some advice about how to deal with rejection: Shake it off, and prove em wrong. Fortune
• Nail the interview. When Birchbox co-CEO Katia Beauchamp interviews a job seeker, she's looking for very specific things. Beauchamp's ideal candidate is self-starter with a positive attitude. Bonus points for asking a lot of smart questions. Fortune
• Master the balancing act. Working moms should look at work-life balance as a "dilemma to manage, rather than a problem to solve," writes Beth Fisher-Yoshida, director of the Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Program at Columbia University. Some days, that balance will tilt toward your job; other days, it will shift toward your family. Embrace the seesaw, says Fisher-Yoshida. Fortune
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
• Top of the masthead. Katharine Viner has been appointed editor-in-chief of the Guardian, making her the first woman to run the newspaper in its 194-year history. Viner is currently deputy editor of the Guardian and editor-in-chief of the Guardian US, and takes over from Alan Rusbridger, who is stepping down after 20 years. Guardian
• Going pro. Seventeen-year-old swimming prodigy Missy Franklin, who has won five Olympic medals, is turning pro. By some estimates, Franklin's decision to remain an amateur after the 2012 Olympics cost her about $5 million in potential endorsements, but the swimmer says she has no regrets. The choice allowed her to win a Colorado state championship when she was in high school and get a taste of college life. I can't wait to watch Franklin rack up more medals in next year's Rio Games. WSJ
• Rolling Stone gets a review. Rolling Stone will publish an independent review of its widely disputed article about a gang rape at the University of Virginia. The review will be conducted by Columbia University's graduate journalism school, and is expected to be published in early April. CNNMoney
• Getting a new fix. Former Sephora CMO and chief digital officer Julie Bornstein explains why she's leaving the cosmetics retailer to become COO of online retailer Stitch Fix, which expects to generate $200 million in revenue this year. Re/Code
• Saving Sweet Briar? The abrupt decision to close Virginia's Sweet Briar College at the end of this term, “as a result of insurmountable financial challenges,” has sparked an uprising. A new alumni group has raised $3 million and is demanding that the women's school make its finances public—or face legal action. Fifty years ago, there were 230 women’s colleges in the U.S. Without Sweet Briar, there will be 44. New York Times
• Rest in peace. WABC television news anchor Lisa Colagrossi has died of a brain hemorrhage. Colagrossi, 49, was returning from an assignment Thursday when the aneurysm hit. 7 Online
