Description: Sociologist Caitlyn Collins frequently remembers a familiar phrase from her childhood. Collins’ mom, a successful sales director, often said with a sigh: “If we were in Europe, this would be so much easier!” So, was Collins’ mom correct?

She shares some of her findings on the laws and cultural attitudes that shape women's careers and lives.
