It's only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs.

The deal is that women have entered the workforce, but they have not been relieved of the domestic responsibilities.

Once you get married, women are still implicitly expected to do the majority of the housework and take care of any future children.

Women are trying to have it all but are trying to regain control over their time. That's why many women are busting out of the traditional workforce and starting their own businesses.

Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.

It is the woman - nearly always - in spite of all the advances of modern feminism, who still takes responsibility for the bulk of the chores, as well as doing her paid job. This is true even in households where men try to be unselfish and to do their share.

The trouble is that as women we try to take care of everybody else before we take care of ourselves.

By liberating women from household work and helping to abolish professions such as domestic service, the washing machine and other household goods completely revolutionised the structure of society.

My home life now is mostly women. They are better than us. They make me better.

I look forward to the day when half our homes are run by men and half our companies and institutions are run by women. When that happens, it won't just mean happier women and families; it will mean more successful businesses and better lives for us all.
