I liked this quote from the Forbes article: “No one ever asks men if they’re staying on top of the laundry and vacuuming while they’re killing it in the office, so I try not to undercut my success by pointing to things left undone in other areas of my life.”
Also, the NYT pregnancy discrimination article. Note that the comments are very depressing.
