With more mothers working than ever before, you might have expected the outdated trope that women’s career aspirations die after having children would have been squashed.

To be precise, the Fawcett Society has estimated that 249,124 working mothers in Britain have left their jobs, with "outdated and toxic attitudes around motherhood" and childcare pressures forcing them to choose between a demotion or leaving the workforce altogether.
