Why Women Still Can’t Have It All – The Atlantic # feminism, politics, and work-life balance

via Magazine – Why Women Still Can’t Have It All – The Atlantic – and Mickey Dennedy

The best hope for improving the lot of all women, and for closing what Wolfers and Stevenson call a “new gender gap”—measured by well-being rather than wages—is to close the leadership gap: to elect a woman president and 50 women senators; to ensure that women are equally represented in the ranks of corporate executives and judicial leaders. Only when women wield power in sufficient numbers will we create a society that genuinely works for all women. That will be a society that works for everyone.

I don’t see how this automatically follows, but maybe that’s because I am cynical about politicians of any gender.

Interesting article, though.
