    • Womenomics: A Bill of Goods or New World Order?

      13Jul
      Posted by: Laura Thomas, ABC Categories: Family, Work Comments: 0

      One challange with posting on three different blogs (here, This Mommy Gig, and Direct2Dell) - in addition to just keeping them all updated - is that sometimes I have a hard time deciding which post belongs where.

      That was the the case with my latest look at women, men, work, family and flexibility for all of them. While I try not to cross-post too much, I think it deserves space in my personal blog, as well as This Mommy Gig.

      So, here is how it starts out:

      The #10 book on the New York Times bestseller list for the week of June 21 was one titled “Womenomics.” I haven’t read the book because, well, about the only time I ever get to read is when I’m on a plane by myself and I haven’t had the opportunity to travel in six months.

      But, this news article on “Womenomics” has been an open tab in my Firefox browser for nearly a month now, as my own blending of work and life has prevented me from writing about it.

      What made that article really jump out at me was that it mentions “a legendary ad sold working women on the idea they could have it all” and I have to believe the writer was thinking of this one that had so much influence on me growing up…

      Just a quick cross-post to note that I’ve got a new post over on ThisMommyGig.com.

      It was sparked by a look at the list of “leaders” in social media being interviewed for a webinar and my noticing the considerable lack of women. Since it’s been noted that women produce and consume things like blogs at a much higher rate than men, why are the men the ones we keep hearing talk about it? A tweet from Laura Fitten gave me one idea why.
