A generation after many prominent feminists encouraged women to “have it all,” we continue to decry the absence of women in politics, business and other positions of power. At the same time, even though there is more opportunity for women now than ever before in history, some professional women argue that we can’t or shouldn’t want to have it all.
身處多位著名女權主義者鼓勵婦女“擁有一切”的一代我們，仍然因在政界，商界和其他業界鮮見女性掌權而發起責難。同時，相較歷史上任何一個時期而言，婦女在當今社會擁有著更多的機會，然而部分職業女性仍然認為，我們無法也不應該或不應該奢望同時擁有“事業”、“家庭”和“自由”。
But is it really too much to have a prominent career and a family? Must we make just one choice to tip the balance of power?
但是，事業與家庭雙豐收的希望真的就是遙不可及的嗎？是不是我們就只能選其一呢？
I don’t think so — women can have it all, and here is how:
我不同意這個觀點！——下面就要為大家分享一下如何“魚與熊掌兼得”：
Define what “having it all” means to you. Like many women, I didn’t want to work so hard for someone else that I wouldn’t have time for a family. Not only did I want to have a successful career and a family, I wanted the freedom to do the kind of work I pleased.
1. 根據你自己的實際情況“擁有全部”下個定義。大部分婦女會這樣想：“我不想因把太多的精力放到為別人工作上，而導致沒時間與家人在一起。”而我，不僅僅想事業家庭雙豐收，還想要有選擇做自己喜歡做的工作的自由。
Yet working for a branding firm in Manhattan, I found myself staying late and coming in on weekends to represent products and companies I didn’t believe in. I was frustrated. I realized that what I most wanted more control over my hours and over the people, companies and products I worked with.
但是，我在麥哈頓一家著名公司工作時，我卻發現自己每天早出晚歸，周末時也要加班加點，僅僅是為連我自己都不相信的公司和產品而忙碌。我感到十分沮喪。然后我意識到，我最想要的是可以掌控自己的時間，同事以及我工作的公司和產品。
