When it was time to raise her three children, my mother—a Harvard graduate, an attorney, and a self-proclaimed feminist—decided to quit working to commit herself full-time to motherhood. A few years later, she returned to work part-time, allowing her to keep her foot in the door as a partner in a law firm, lobby for environmental causes, and volunteer at my siblings’ elementary school.
