Can women have it all?
Posted by: Leah Eichler
It used to be a feminist mantra: you can do it all, successfully raise a family and have a career.
Meg Wolitzer , the author of “The Ten-Year Nap,” a new novel about women who leave the workplace to care for their children, says the one-time noble goal doesn’t always work out in real life — and that is not a bad thing.
“Having everything is one of those cringe worthy concepts that sound better than they actually are,” Wolitzer told Reuters.
“Is the point of life to amass a big jackpot? I think the point is the stuff that happens along the way.”
Do you think women should strive to “have it all” — a career and a family — or is that feminist ideal overrated?
