Virginia’s Shadow

‘Across the broad continent of a woman’s life, falls the shadow of a sword.’ Virginia Woolf. 1925

The unborn child. There’s a gap between the number of children women want and the number women have. The gap is greatest in those with a higher education.

The lost profession. The vast majority of women leave or demote their career after having children. Only very few ever regain the same salary or status.

Some say we can have it all. Perhaps we’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t.
