Women today are bombarded with exhortations to \"lean in\" and break through glass ceilings-but we are only encouraged to do so as long as we don't forget our \"primary\" duties, such as running a household or providing caregiving for children and aging parents.

Despite these obstacles, we can indeed control our lives and define our own success according to our passions, our talents, and our ambitions.
