The "big lie" of corporate feminism.
How each generation of women has been sold a different "brand" and how that has harmed us. 
Why there's no such thing as "Work/Life Balance" and why we need to throw out the term.
The burnout and inequity harming America's working women today and what we need to do about it.
Why paid family leave is a must for all parents regardless of job type or gender. 
Why men also need to stand-up to corporate America and take family leave.
Why paid family leave is also a racial justice issue.
What her biggest failure taught her.
