The article is too short for DYK at 1,017 characters. New DYK articles must be at least 1,500 characters. A QPQ is needed. Can you think of a better hook besides her being the first woman? SL93 (talk) 14:12, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I’m going to be improving her article further today. The fact about her being the first woman faculty member is pretty boring compared to how fascinating her work is. I’ll try to think of a better one, or one that includes both her being the first woman and a fact from her research. Thriley (talk) 17:01, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An expert in work and family dynamics, she argued in her 1993 book, Breaking the Mold, that considering work and family life as separate spheres is no longer tenable in the current competitive business environment."

@SL93:, I think this is much better. What do you think? Thriley (talk) 17:52, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
