Work and need to work all the time, and the way we work, role work occupies in our life for most men and women is complicated right now in our culture. The Nightingale School about 15 years ago, an allgirl school, had a career day. They invited a corporate lawyer partner, the mother of a child in the school, to come and speak, and she came, and she spoke, and she talked about all the wonderful things she did as partner, and then there was a question period.
