I Still Hear Too Many Stories Of Women Who Go Back To Work Too Soon, But I Do Believe That We Have Been Able To Change The Paradigm In Attitudes Towards Family Leave In That It's No Longer A Nice Thing To Do For Women, It's A Must Do For Competitiveness, And That's A Big Change Over The Last Seven Years.
