You can't have it all, the retiring classics professor had said. You young folks think new laws that recognize women's rights have changed things. You expect to be a wife, a mother, a best-selling novelist, and a political activist in your spare time after your job as a college professor. I'm here to tell you it can't be done. Being a scholar is a lifetime commitment. You take that title seriously, and you can kiss your dreams of a husband and kids goodbye. Her mother's advice: I chose the door marked MATRIARCH. I've never regretted becoming a wife and a mother.
Her father said: You are capable of becoming a great scholar. Choose the door marked ACADEMIA.
Her doctoral advisor said: First, land a tenure-track teaching contract at a good university. Do whatever it takes to win TENURE. Then you can do as you please.
Her husband said: Choose the free-lance life of a NOVELIST. That will put your talents into what you enjoy most. But what does her heart tell her? Which door will she choose?
