She’s a near-perfect female role model for the legions of ambitious twentysomething women currently prowling law firm halls. Watching her deftly soothe irate CEOs and charm even the dourest firm dinosaur, I can only admire her professional skill, financial independence, grace under pressure and intelligence.

But when I actually consider the matter, I can’t think of anything more terrifying than waking up in a decade to find myself wearing her life.
