As a father of two, wonderful, daughters, and now a proud grandfather, I find the following piece interesting:
Many Women at Elite Colleges Set Career Path to Motherhood - New York Times
I might take a different point of view from the feminist one:
" For many feminists, it may come as a shock to hear how unbothered many young women at the nation's top schools are by the strictures of traditional roles.
"They are still thinking of this as a private issue; they're accepting it," said Laura Wexler, a professor of American studies and women's and gender studies at Yale. "Women have been given full-time working career opportunities and encouragement with no social changes to support it.
"I really believed 25 years ago," Dr. Wexler added, "that this would be solved by now."
Maybe "this" has been solved.
Maybe these young women indeed have a choice.
Choosing motherhood ... choosing.
