Successful women face career and life choices shaped by a society that often undercuts their dreams.
Recommendation
The socioeconomic forces shaping women’s lives have changed dramatically in a generation, leaving many women without clear templates for success. Ambitious, successful women generally face similar obstacles, often with little mentoring or support. Women strive to reach their career goals, while also performing more emotional labor than men and handling child-rearing responsibilities. Essayists Hana Schank and Elizabeth Wallace interview fellow 1990s Northwestern University alumnae to learn how they navigated the complex forces shaping their lives.
