*12/13/ 21- Rewrite in the works :)* In a corporate world, being career driven is a quality commendable by many. Yet, when you're a woman- that only wants to focus on that aspect of her life- the validity of your gender always comes into question. Eliza Kelly is one of those hardworking people who fought hard to get to where she is as a CIO of Bluestar Technologies. She never felt like less of a person because she hardly let her thoughts linger around marriage or children. She was a respected individual, but there was something about her not wanting to fulfill her "womanly duties" that mildly suppressed the micro-aggressions of her predominantly male environment. According to them, she was secretly strange, too uptight, or not a "normal" woman. However, when Eliza experiences an accidental pregnancy, from a short lived-tryst, she's faced with decisions she never planned to make. The difficult situation is not something Eliza can hide, and she can't deny the pressure surrounding what is expected of her the moment she was unwillingly reminded that she is a woman.
