women’s should be woman’s and work should be works. unless you meant women’s to be plural. in that case you would leave work without the s, but you would have to move the apostrophe after the s, like this: womens’. oh and the sentence isn’t finished.
since you are only talking about one woman
it should be carrier-womAn’s not carrier-womEn’s
women’s should be woman’s, or the "a" should be removed
Well you started with a singular article but said "women’s." And then you went on to say "work" instead of "works." The subject and verbs have to agree. O yeah, the sentence isn’t finished either.
well u said women’s when it should either be woman’s or womens’.
also, i don’t understand the sentence…..
u said by providing by and then there’s no effect. maybe it’s just me though
It has no punctuation at the enf
no punctuation….it should be woman instead of women because it’s talking about one woman not two
dyslexic are you . try blue tinted glasses ,help you it might.
There are a number of errors.
1. The sentence seems incomplete. It starts with "by" which marks a clause, but the clause seems unfinished. It is not mentioned what is given to the reader at the end.
2. Women’s is plural and possessive, so if you mean to refer to only one woman, use "woman’s."
3. "Until she work" does not agree. She is a singular pronoun, but work is a plural verb.
4. "At the morning" makes little sense. I think you mean "in the morning."
One other point, as for some of the posters, womens’ is not a word. Women’s is the correct form for possessive and plural, since the word women cannot be pluralized (it already is), so you can only make it possessive. Women is already plural without an s, so the apostrophe can only go before the s. Woman’s is possessive singular and women’s is possessive plural. The same would go for the word children. Children is already plural, so the correct way to make it plural and possessive is to add ’s, not s’. If there is a different word to use to make something plural, if you want possessive plural, just use the plural word and add ’s. The only time that s’ is valid is when the word starts out as singular (or if it is a proper noun that already ends with s, though in older times, you would add and additional s after the apostrophe). Then you pluralize it with an s and then add an apostrophe to mark it as possessive in addition to plural. If you are not pluralizing a word (which you do not do when a word is already plural), then only use ’s.
This…(Insert book, short story, whatever here) gives the reader (insert whatever it is giving the reader here) by providing a nearly complete timeline of the average CAREER woman’s morning.

This (book, short story, whatever it is) gives an almost complete story about a career woman’s morning rituals. This gives the reader…
You have a run-on sentence, misspelled words, your sentence is incomplete, and "By providing" isn’t really a good way to start that sentence. Oh, and your sentence is from 2 points of view.
Heard about this site from my friend. He pointed me here and told me I’d find what I need. He was right! I got all the questions I had, answered. Didn’t even take long to find it. Love the fact that you made it so easy for people like me. More power
This is one technology that I would love to be able to use for myself. It’s definitely a cut above the rest and I can’t wait until my provider has it. Your insight was what I needed. Thanks
