    Also, the NYT pregnancy discrimination article. Note that the comments are very depressing.

    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.”
