Deb, you are a gem. Thank you for talking about these tensions with so much realism and grace. I especially appreciate the point on how we need to be more open about our need for support in order to continue to operate at a high level professionally.

It also reminds me of Claudia Goldin's current working paper "Why Women Won" - one of the survey questions she tracks is the American population's perception of whether preschool kids will suffer if their mom works and it's fascinating to see how that tracks over time and how it's still a non-trivial percentage of the population that believes that today.

I really think the key is leaning INTO the polarities of what it means to be a woman at work. I've definitely been exploring that in my substack lately. Anyhow, just really appreciate your work. Thank you!
