Feat No 26

I found it very difficult to find a title for this feat. Then again, the word “Feat” covers it.

I happened to read both of the following today and felt strongly that they apply to my life. I would like to take this opportunity and share them with you.

The first:

“In motherhood, one quite literally becomes a vessel—a role that often continues postpartum. The young family takes precedence, and ambition takes a back seat; a mother can become the net around her loved ones, their needs veiling her own. It is the natural exile of domestic life.”

This is an extract from an interview entitled “The Invisible Woman”, A conversation with Björk by Jessica Hopper on January 21, 2015 on Pitchfork (www.pitchfork.com – For the whole interview,  http://pitchfork.com/features/interviews/9582-the-invisible-woman-a-conversation-with-bjork/). I noticed this on Twitter via @MarianSteiner . 

The second:

“Hire women who have paused their career to have children. Just watch how talented and hungry they are” : . This was also found on Twitter via @Davos .

Thank you.
