Egg Freezing as a Job Benefit
2015-08-28
This concept illustration is inspired by the article “Freezing Eggs as Part of Employee Benefits: Some Women See Darker Message,” originally published in The New York Times. The narrative of the piece centers around the fear many women hold that if they start a family they will not be seen as committed to their employer. Here I’ve illustrated the commitment women have for their companies in a gesture normally reserved for child rearing.
