When I talk to women who were working mothers in the ’60s and when I talk to the working mothers today in 2011, they sound the same. They use exactly the same words. They say, ‘I’m torn, I’m not really a good mother, I’m not being a really good wife, and I’m not being a really good professional.’ Women who have kids are just as torn as we were back then.
