| Abstract: | The article discusses the issue of women who hire other women as household help and child-care surrogates, so that the mothers are free to pursue demanding professional and managerial careers. Some younger generation of highly educated women who have opted out of the 9-to-5 (or 6 or 7) rat race, have supported this idea: that women professionals and executives break through the glass ceiling only at the peril of the women they employ at home (and of their own children). This perspective suggests that an energetic and educated woman should not be able to choose the life pattern of men of similar temperament and ability. |
