Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Valentina (@valzarya) here. Lands’ End issues a controversial apology, Jennifer Lawrence gets what she wants, and Eventbrite adds another woman to its board. Have a fantastic weekend.

EVERYONE'S TALKING

• Sorry 'bout Steinem. Lands' End is apologizing to customers for featuring a conversation between CEO Federica Marchionni and feminist icon Gloria Steinem in its spring catalog. The interview was removed from the clothing retailer's website after some customers complained about Steinem's support for abortion rights. ABC News

ALSO IN THE HEADLINES

• Brite boardmember. Eventbrite has added former president and CFO of First Republic Bank, Katherine August-deWilde, to its board. The ticketing site already has one another woman on its board (former eBay president Lorri Norrington), as well as a female president (company co-founder Julia Hartz).  Fortune

• Another first? President Obama has nominated Carla Hayden, former president of the American Library Association, to head the Library of Congress. The job entails settling some of the weightiest policy questions in tech and, if approved by the Senate, Hayden would be the first African American and the first woman to in it. Washington Post

• Getting their Fix. Women's online styling service Stitch Fix is testing out a men's business. CEO Katrina Lake tells Fortune that the move comes as a result of "overwhelming demand."  Fortune

• JLaw FTW. Looks like speaking out can really pay off: After very public discussions about being paid less than her male co-workers, Jennifer Lawrence is this year's highest-paid Oscar nominee, earning $52 million—almost twice as much as second-highest earner Leonardo DiCaprio. Marie Claire

• Welcome wagon. Several global engineering and tech companies, including IBM, Intel and General Motors, are piloting paid "re-entry" internship programs for people who have taken career breaks of two years or longer. Fast Company

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

• If you can't beat 'em... Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, is joining Donald Trump's campaign. Time

• #ShareTheLoad. This Indian laundry detergent ad and its message about sharing unpaid labor more evenly caught the attention of Sheryl Sandberg and has since gone viral.“This is one of the most powerful videos I have ever seen,” she wrote in a Facebook post. Quartz

• Hola, Dolly. Not too long ago, Dolly Elizondo was a single mother of two without a college degree or job prospects. Now, she is gunning to be the first Latina Congresswoman elected from Texas. Elle

• Andrews v. Marriott. Erin Andrews' lawsuit against Marriott began this week. The TV personality is suing the hotel chain for negligence after it allegedly allowed her stalker to book the hotel room next to hers during a business trip.  Fortune
