From Judith Shulevitz at The New Republic, some observations about everyone’s favorite subject: “To understand why female lawyers, doctors, bankers, academics, high-tech executives and other, often expensively pedigreed, professionals quit work to stay home, you need not search their souls for ambivalence or nostalgia. In fact, searching their souls guarantees that you won’t get the story, because it’s not to be found in individual decisions and personal stories, which are always complicated and hard to parse, but in the structural realities of the American workplace.”

1. Hire women. 2. Actually it’s harder than that, sometimes. Etsy wanted to hire more women engineers, and so they were like, okay, we’re going to do this thing … and then a year later they hadn’t hired any.

Thinking outside the [] WELL DONE.
