Superwoman Is Tired

Millennial women are told we can have it all. But everywhere I look, I hear the same quiet confession: sure we can, but also, we’re exhausted.

In Superwoman is Tired, I’m trying to understand why so many high-achieving, thoughtful women feel totally stretched to their limits. I talk to researchers, psychologists, mothers, and women across industries to ask whether empowerment has quietly turned into another form of pressure.

I didn’t want to write a self-help book, because women don’t need fixing. This is an investigation into what happens when a generation raised to believe we can do anything starts wondering whether the real problem is the system we’ve been trying to succeed in.
