I'm a "boomer" (the tail end of the boom) but I also was one of the early adopters of working from home. I worked 2 days at home, 3 in the office for a while when my first child was born in 1989. And I had far, far, far less technology than I do now. My working from home was allowed because my boss, also a mother, had done it first. We were allowed because there was a serious shortage of actuaries and actuarial assistants in Chicago in those days. We were too valuable to lose, so the men in suits accommodated us.
