Karen was working in her office, minding her own business. The phone rang and interrupted her concentration.

They’ve placed themselves in uncomfortable situations, institutions where they felt different, classes where they felt marginalized, and work environments that felt hostile. Yet these women have persevered as beacons of hope for our future generations.

It’s not that we’re bad people, or that we aren’t working hard. The problem is that what our minds and bodies need at a basic level is in conflict with our work style.

At least, that was the collective answer we got after polling the floor of an undisclosed finance company.
