The danger of the book s title refers to the effects of their ambitions to be, as Thompson putit, something no other woman has been yet. Both women turned out to be poor parents,even if they came up to roughly the standard expected of working fathers of the time; bothchose work and travel over their child, sent them away to school and placated them withlavish gifts. Ms Hertog poignantly renders the conflict between maternal instinct and thedesire for realisation of ambition, backed by a fear of diminished intellectual lustre andof becoming lost in a cocoon of domesticity. Thompson and West undoubtedly chose workover family, but in doing so helped to break down barriers, not only for women journalists butfor all working women.
剑走偏锋的书名披露了她们的事业野心,正如Thompson所说,这是其他女性未曾经历的一切。两位女士在养育子女方面是失败的典范,虽然可以说她们大致符合那个时代在外打拼的爸爸的标准:在子女年纪尚小时便投身事业周游列国,并且将儿子打发到学校,又用奢华的礼物慰藉他们缺乏母爱的童年。在担心以家庭为重会埋没聪颖天资与害怕投身事业会为家庭所茧缚而带来失落感的进退维谷的情境下,Hertog女士入木三分地刻画了母爱的天性与实现事业宏愿的冲突所带来的苦痛。两位女性毫不迟疑地选择了后者,但正因为这个选择,才帮助了千万女性记者乃至所有的在职女性跨越了世间予以她们的枷锁。
