Madeline Albright on Career and Motherhood
…and a final thought on this subject: Several years ago when I went to
see former U.S. Secretary of State Madeline Albright speak at a book signing
in San Francisco, someone asked her during the Q&A whether she regretted
devoting her life to career rather than her children.Her answer was that we are all individuals making individual choices suited
to our talents and needs. Some women are meant to stay at home with kids,
others are meant for public service and others slot into a combination of an
in-between range. ”But,” she added (and I paraphrase here) ”there’s a
special place in hell for women who give other women a hard time for the
choice they make.” The room went wild with applause.From a single mom working hard to do both!
