Francesca Cornelli could tell you a thing or two about leading during a crisis. A veteran of the business school scene, previously holding positions at global heavyweights London Business School, the LSE, Duke Fuqua and The Wharton School, Cornelli has steered Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management through one of the most challenging years for academic institutions in recent history.

The beginning and the ending of having children are tied together in ways that shape the future economy, a woman’s ability to have the number of children she wants, the coming workforce and even whether neighborhoods build or shutters schools. Questions of maturity and resources not all financial come into play. And this particular landscape has been changing for many years.
