Welcome

This blog has been created to allow participants in the work/family conflict reading groups to discuss their thoughts about the books and/or the issue of negotiating the competing demands of work and family. Since you can read and post messages any time, you can participate at your leisure, making it easier for you to get the most out of our reading groups without necessarily adding to the tensions of managing work and family. I encourage you to use this venue for sharing your responses, relevant experiences and ideas for alternative ways of making work and family more compatible. The blog is meant to be a companion to our scheduled reading group meetings - an opportunity to get some feedback on ideas we have or express our opinion about something we are reading about in our book. Just as important, by participating on the blog, we can, at our convenience, begin the process of developing connections with each other.

Organizations Working for Women - South

I noticed when reviewing the list (appendix) of 58 organizations that are Working for Women, only 2 of the 58 were in the South. That's 3%! Looks like we have a lot of work to do in this region of the country - the Northeast and California seemed to be the hot spots. Tennessee and Georgia were the only two and I bet there are more women needing advocacy here than in the other regions. Hey, where are the other bloggers?

I am technologically challenged. I tried doing a blog, but it never came through. Then I couldn't sign in after that. I tried resetting my password a few moments ago. I was going to send a blog, but didn't see the link to just post my own comments so am trying this format instead.

Looking forward to our meeting today at noon; however, I think I forgot most of what I read already.

My original blog related to women choosing to work vs. having to work and choosing professions, like bulldoze operator which I feel should be a man's job. If women choose these jobs and have the same qualifications as men, then they should be paid the same wages. It is their choice on the job they like and can do best.
