So what do I really think of Anne-Marie Slaughter’s article (“Why Women Still Can’t Have It All”) in The Atlantic? As you’ve undoubtedly heard by now, Slaughter’s piece is about how she decided to leave a dream job as the first female director of policy planning for the State Department to tend to her responsibilites on the home front.

But what gives Slaughter’s tale punch is that it comes from someone who made the tough climb to the top only to retreat after two years on the job. Plus, she is brutally honest about her decision to pull back.
