Creating a Better World
"I believe, however, that women will never be satisfied with a life that is an economic imitation of mens' lives.
Women must find a new way, a way of the spirit, and they must insist on an economic reality that acknowledges the concerns of the heart.
If women are only satisfied to find success as men have found it , in the traditional marketplace separate from home, we will never create a better world.
When women polarize over daycare and at-home mommies, they polarize over a male model of the separation of work and family that has not worked for men and is now not working for women. It doesn't work, not because we need more daycare centers, but because the current social reality we emulate has no heart."
