Hear from Wall Street Journal columnist Rachel Feintzeig and reporters Kathryn Dill and Lauren Weber about how the pandemic has altered women’s labor force participation, prompted many to redefine their careers and, in some cases, afforded a flexibility that may create new advantages across industries.
