PRINCETON – When I wrote the cover article of the July/August issue of The Atlantic, entitled “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All,” I expected a hostile reaction from many American career women of my generation and older, and positive reactions from women aged roughly 25-35. I expected that many men of that younger generation would also have strong reactions, given how many of them are trying to figure out how to be with their children, support their wives’ careers, and pursue their own plans.
普林斯顿—我在撰写《大西洋》（The Atlantic）7/8月号的封面文章《为什么女性仍然得不到这些》（Why Women Still Can’t Have It All）时就预料到许多和我一样大或者比我更年长的美国职业女性会对此心怀不满，而25—35年龄段的女性会对此反应积极。我还预料年青一代的许多男性也会有激烈的反应，因为他们当中有不少在家带孩子、支持老婆的事业，同时追求自己的计划。
