This article is totally awesome and, in my experience, so very true.  I've learned SO much this year in terms of women and business.  And while I'm VERY lucky to work for a company willing to make allowances for me to do what I need to do - there is SO much more to be done.

One of the final paragraphs in the article sums it up perfectly:

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.
