There's a complicated issue here of women being pressured into doing this because of sexist notions of gender roles and the fact many women do this completely willingly.

I say this as someone who is currently feeling pressure to give up my career to have children because my wife makes more money, and someone who's mother in law had a Harvard education which she used for about 3 years before she became a full time mom and claims it was the best decision of her life.
There's also the counter-trend of men not doing the same for their children, both because they're not expected to, and that there's this assumption that doing so emasculates them - which is something you see both men and women spout.
