TechCrunch
• How does she do it? This peek into the "secret society" of executive moms reveals how many high-powered women have created informal networks to get candid advice on balancing family and career. Fortune
•Millennial men in a muddle. A new study finds that while most men and women, age 18 to 32, have egalitarian attitudes about gender roles, many fall back on traditional roles when family-friendly policies are lacking. In other words, Millennial men are trying, but until employers get on board, women will continue to do the bulk of caregiving. New York Times
•Time to go co-ed? This story polls women on a timely question: Do we still need women-only events and panels?

•The gig is up. While economists bicker over how the rise of the "gig economy" will affect workers, one thing is clear: Women age 20 to 24 are the demographic most likely to be juggling multiple jobs. Why? Blame the pay gap, says Valerie Wilson of the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute: "Young women may be choosing to piece together multiple jobs because the jobs they hold pay less." WSJ

Reflecting on the Court's latest term,SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg said that while she agreed with the recent landmark decision on marriage equality, she would have written a different ruling than the one penned by Justice Anthony Kennedy.
