and feminism at their best are supposed to be about:
recognizing the full diversity of human experience and
empowering everyone along that spectrum to walk

Does Ann Romney’s path make sense to me?
Marriage at 19, with a special, separate Mormon

administrative work for some volunteer project she’d
been drawn into or for the 60­-member competitive
swimming club that she and Dad had founded and that
she ran largely by herself.
I wish I knew how to work even half that hard.
