As the founder and President of Working Mother Media I have been involved with the advancement of working moms for 30 years. I am often a keynote speaker on the subject of work-life balance, the advancement of women, barriers facing women of color, and leadership. When asked to appear on major talk shows including The Early Show, The Today Show, Oprah, Good Morning America, PBS's To the Contrary and on hundreds of radio shows or to comment in newspapers nationwide, I love to tell the world how hard working mothers work to keep their families and the businesses they work for moving and growing. I told many of my stories in the award-winning book: This is How We Do It: The Working Mothers' Manifesto.

We should all be keeping our eyes and ears open for potential attacks on the FMLA act. FMLA is the only law in this country that ensures women can take the time off for having a baby, dealing with famil ... Read more...
Julia was an early adaptor of an environmentally friendly practice: she insisted on bringing cloth bags to the grocery store so we wouldn't waste the plastic or paper bags. It was a small effort, and she moved on from that to a serious vegetarian commitment-even ins ... Read more...
Here I am wedged in the middle seat between two large men on the express train to New York, missing my mom. She died two years ago today, and I have been thinking about her and imagining her all weekend, and looking forward to devoting some time to her memory.

If you ever want to know just how much you love your children, have one of them get lost for one hour and you will realize that your entire world depends on their well-being.
The first time I lost a child was at Caldors in Bedford Hills. I was shopping with m ... Read more...
Men have such an advantage over women in business. I'm not talking about their pay and promotion advantage-I'm talking about their Dress Advantage. Getting out of the house is so much harder for a business woman than a business man that it gives men a head start eve ... Read more...
