Women work as much as men now, if not more. There's a resurgence of dads in the home and moms working.

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.

The work-family divide is the biggest issue for American women. But in some ways it's amazing how adjusted society has become to it. In the 1970s, as women began to take more jobs, society was reeling.

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

I have a theory that women are generally given space and appointed to jobs when the situation is tough. I've observed that in many instances. In times of crisis, women eventually are called upon to sort out the mess, face the difficult issues and be completely focused on restoring the situation.

One of the biggest challenges is for women to find an organization that's willing to accept them back after they leave the work force to raise children without taking a cut in compensation and responsibility.

Especially in this industry, women challenge men much more now because we're saying, 'We can do it, too.'

Everything's harder for women: harder to start, to stay employed, to run a life with a family.

I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.

And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.
