Why Women Still Can’t Have It All

Have you ladies read this article from The Atlantic? The author, Anne-Marie Slaughter makes the case that our society is not structured for women to “have it all,” and at some point wives, mothers and career women will have to choose one over the other. Lots of great points about the long-fabled “work-life balance.”

In summary, it’s believed that three things have to be in place in order for women to be successful in both home/work life:

• The partner must help out at home - doing half the work, or sometimes more, in support of the working woman
• Women should not underestimate their own abilities
• Women should not cut back on their own ambition based on the fear that they won’t be able to balance demands of both career and home

It’s a lengthy article but it’s a good read! Love, Nik
