Great article by Ellen Galinsky, President, Families and Work Institute

Dear Friends of Miss Representation,

Happy Holidays!

Thank you all so much your initial support of Miss Representation! It was wonderful to see you at so many of our events this past year, and we really appreciate your enthusiasm for the film and your generous contributions thus far! This has been a busy and exciting time and we wanted to share a few important updates with you.

Dear Marin County MomsRising Member,

Did you know that for the first time in our nation's history, women are half of all U.S. workers, and mothers are the primary or co-breadwinners for almost 2/3 of American families?  These facts (and more!) have just been released in a report co-authored by Maria Shriver and the Center for American Progress.

Hey moms,

Check out this great article by Tracy Cote and Traci Armstrong on how to improve your online visibility so recruiters will find you rather than you look for them:

Hello, I am a reporter for Bay Area Parent magazine and I need people to interview for a story about workplace discrimination among new moms. I need moms who have experienced workplace discrimination, women who work for human resources departments in corporations, attorneys who defend these kind of cases or anyone who make have expertise in this area. Please responde ASAP. My deadline is in two weeks. Sincerely, Teresa Mills-Faraudo

What an offensive article. I know tons of men who take Sabbaticals
for all sorts of reasons - to travel to Asia, to write a book, to
start a company (then put it aside when it is not successful) - with
the result being a career boost for being so interesting. The thing
we should hear most loudly from Jack Welch is his focus on women.

Are you back to work for the first time in a long time? Or have you recently become the primary breadwinner or a more important breadwinner due to a layoff or less work for your husband?
How's it going? What has changed around home?

I'm writing a story for SF Magazine about this transition time with moms heading back to work. Very interested in what you're feeling....You can email me offline or post here. dekapp@mac.com ---Best, Diana
