“I do think women can have it all - but not all women. If you take daring steps and are smart about it, you can probably have it all. But you might have to wait a while.”

American author, journalist, and lecturer

Gail Sheehy was an American author, journalist, and lecturer. She is known for her seventeen books and for high-profile magazine writing in outlets such as New York and Vanity Fair. Sheehy helped shape the movement Tom Wolfe called New Journalism, also known as creative nonfiction. In that style, writers used literary techniques such as scene setting, dialogue, and status details, and sometimes entered the story more closely to report a central character’s thoughts.
