Sexism. Why can‘t a woman ever be known for her merits and background? This is such a great line about being known more as his husband and having other parts of her dissolve from view.

I like how in tune she is with knowing how you grow up impacts your relationships - and how do you figure that out and move forward together? She feels extra let down by his schedule because she always had family around. I‘m also wondering how we could make politics more friendly to families?

Really intrigued by this paragraph on holding resentment as ultimately Michelle has to carry the burden of getting pregnant. I love the honesty here and the internal thought about how to reckon with being about equality with what was happening with pregnancy. Made me wonder about how women hold love through this time?
