Pressured to be Perfect by Claudia Kalb FROM Newsweek

Where does the pressure come from?
It's human nature in many of us to want to be the best we can. I think there's societal pressure, media pressure, partner pressure. Up until 30 years ago all the pressure really involved the home and children. The pressure on women was to be good wives and mothers. Right now that's two out of a number of things. Can you tell me any area where a woman can let go and feel comfortable?
