Thank you so much for sharing this essay. I felt like you were reading my mail! I believe the struggle between the two is very real, very common yet very overlooked and under talked about! Thank you again for sharing!

I really loved this. It’s what I needed to organize my thoughts for a research project I’m doing on feminism. Sadly though, I still have no effing clue how to be a woman (that sounds so sappy). Thanks so much for telling us your story.

Wonderful piece. I think most North American women can probably relate to this article. What I appreciated most was how well you articulated the feeling that “The ideals competing for women’s attention seem mutually exclusive.” I, too, feel like I have to choose between being an academic and being a mother — it doesn’t seem viable to be both. Thanks for your honesty.

Sarah, I think you’ve articulated how many (if not most) women feel. Thank you for being vulnerable in this essay, and for showing the rest of us that we aren’t alone.

Yeah, in agreement with the previous comments, this was a fantastically written piece. Thanks for your insights into womanhood/personhood. Loved depictions of the tension you’ve felt and the unanswered questions you have that all seem to be under-girded with a balance and trust.
