So when does she make reeds?
Grace

"The myth of superwoman has hung on long after the media stopped airing
fantasy-based commercials about working women’s lives: Here she comes, home
from the office after 12 hours of high-powered negotiations in the
executive
suite. Her designer suit is still fresh and unwrinkled, her face radiant
and
unlined as she opens her arms to greet her two adorable children—and sends
a
seductive glance toward her handsome husband, beaming proudly in the
background. Watch her as, with one smooth motion, she slips off her jacket
and into a dainty apron as she glides toward the spotless kitchen to create
a three-course meal for her beloved family. After dinner she will check the
children’s French homework and read them a chapter of Jane Eyre before
tucking the little
cherubs into bed. While her husband watches the late-night news, she will
disappear into the den to make an overseas call that will clinch a
multinational
deal for her company."

-Deborah J. Swiss and Judith P. Walker (20th century) U.S. education
consultants
"Women and the Work Family Dilemma," (1993)
