Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women’s Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours

Low is a Wharton economist who writes here about the data of women's lives and how women can maximize their lives' overall "utility"—that is, how they might make decisions that lead to satisfaction and contentment because they're in line with their values and priorities. (What counts as "utility" is highly individual, as are the constraints we experience along the way.) I appreciated this book not for any answers it might seek to provide but for the questions it raises, and the language Low put to phenomenons I've experienced in my own life, like "the squeeze." I also loved her metaphor of thinking of your life as "a book with many chapters" (because of course I did).
