520 |a Women still encounter entrenched gender bias in the workplace, and are expected to shoulder the lion's share of labor and burdens at home while being made to feel as if we're never doing enough. Bazelton believes working mothers need to celebrate what we do give our children, rather than apologizing for what we don't. In this way we can model for our children how we use our talents to help others. Being ambitious at work and being a good mother are not at odds-- these qualities mutually should reinforce each other. -- adapted from jacket
