There's a mark on every stage around the world that signifies the center of its depth and width, called "center center." James Whiteside has dreamed of standing on that very mark as a principal dancer with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre ever since he was a twelve-year-old blown away by watching the company's spring gala.

Not was I was expecting
Revisado: 08-19-24
I was expecting the personal experience of an amazing dancer in the dance world, James shares that, he’s funny, honest and truly entertaining, then, at about half the book I started crying thinking about my own experience taking care of my mom and how I was never able to do it as I wish I had, it was for me an unexpected coincidence which I guess I needed though to be honest I was trying to get distracted with this book. This part and the part about his mom’s story is also honest and I love the hints social critique and personal reflection. This is not a book just about show business.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 43
A century ago, it was a given that a woman with a college degree had to choose between having a career and a family. Today, there are more female college graduates than ever before, and more women want to have a career and family, yet challenges persist at work and at home. This book traces how generations of women have responded to the problem of balancing career and family as the twentieth century experienced a sea change in gender equality, revealing why true equity for dual career couples remains frustratingly out of reach.

Passionate writing of economics and social phenomena

I’m deeply thankful with Audible for having this book available. Please, continue adding these academic titles. Even more thankful I am to Claudia Goldin for making this such an entertaining work, I cannot believe that I just heard it all, also, for being so objective with the data, and for being so clear with it to the point that I actually wouldn’t have minded to hear more numbers and percentages. Last, but not least, thank you to the reader who made me feel both like I was listening to the author and as I was listening to a fellow woman, passionate about this issue. Great listen.
