Many African-American men are incarcerated. And so African-American women do carry an enormous burden. And traditionally have carried a greater burden than perhaps their white counterparts.

The deal is that women have entered the workforce, but they have not been relieved of the domestic responsibilities.

A woman who places a high priority on performance and excellence is seen as imperial. A man is seen as demanding and tough.

My mother taught me a lot of things, but they had big presuppositions built in - like her expectation that I'd be a missionary nurse in a religious order.
