What the hell is the name of the book that came out in the last couple of years, about the way women are forced to sacrifice their jobs for their family while men aren’t?

I remember the cover–white, with red (?) lettering, but I can’t for the life of me think of the name. An Amazon search or three turned up nothing. I know I’ll know it when I hear it, too.

Nein, nein. Two or three word title; author went to Harvard, I think. The things I remember, when I can’t remember the damn title.
