Summary of Tiffany Dufu's Drop the Ball

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was groomed to manage a home since I was young. When I was sixteen, my parents divorced, and I became the woman of the house. I was an opinionated, driven girl who loved being given leadership roles at school and in church.

#2 Women today often feel the pressure to succeed at work and keep things running smoothly at home, especially when children arrive. Men, on the other hand, rarely feel this pressure.

#3 The examples set by our parents and extended families are models for our own adult lives. We grow up believing that we need to be in charge at home, because that’s what we see our mothers doing.

#4 My father was one of eleven kids, born into a housing project not far from where my mother lived. He experimented with drugs but otherwise stayed out of trouble and always had a desire to help people. He went to college on the GI bill, earned a Ph. D. in theology, and worked as an elementary school guidance counselor.
