About This Book
Women aren't failing to have it all — the system was never designed to let them.
Wharton professor and economist Dr. Corinne Low brings rigorous data to the questions women navigate every day: when to marry, whether to have children, which career to pursue and where to live. Having It All argues that biology, culture and economics have stacked the deck against women — and that understanding the hidden forces shaping these decisions is the first step toward making better ones. In the tradition of Fair Play and Cribsheet, Low blends personal experience with economic analysis to offer an evidence-based framework for reclaiming time, energy and joy.
This is not a book about doing more or optimizing harder. It's for women who want to stop accepting labor-intensive solutions to structural problems — and start making choices grounded in evidence rather than expectation.
