Directions: After reading this week’s content readings, answer the following questions. “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All”

1. According to Anne-Marie Slaughter in the reading “Why Women Still Can’t
Have It All,” “women can ‘have it all’...But not today, not with the way
American’s economy and society are currently structured” (538). Summarize her
“I say,” noting the reasons and evidence she gives to support her claims.
2. In paragraph 19, Slaughter entertains a possible objection to her argument,
saying that she is “well aware that a majority of American women face problems
far greater than any discussed in this article.” Do you think she presents this
counterargument fairly (using the “believing game”)? Explain your response.
How does she respond to this objection? (Does she offer a rebuttal or concession).
Is her response strong?
