Do you do daycare?
And the irony is that most people just make these decisions based off of what they can do.
It's just about survival most of the time.
Yeah, it is.
And I think obviously there are a lot of different political themes in this book, but I think my experience of writing it was realizing how universal these struggles are, regardless of what your politics are.
Like the pressure of being the right type of mother, the right type of wife, I don't think it ever goes away.
And I think that that's something that we could...
find more common ground on, not to use like a really annoying phrase, but it really was something like I've had so many interesting conversations with deeply religious, deeply traditional women in the States while on tour.
And the amount we have in common is staggering.
Like it's just everyone is up against the wall.
But both liberal and conservative women don't like her.
You know, before the book came out, I was more worried about it.
And I really was worried that she would just be too off-putting.
I love her, but I am aware, you know, I've been writing for a long time.
I got my graduate degree in writing, so I know the game with unlikable women.
And I think what's been really amazing is that so many women...
See her struggle.
And I think that experiencing that struggle on the page allows people to have a little bit of catharsis of their own.
And so, for example, when women come up and talk to me about Natalie, the first 45 seconds are about, oh, my God, she was so difficult, but I also loved her.
But then we are very quickly talking about their lives.
