50 Most Powerful Moms of 2013

These 50 American moms hold real power—in fact, they generate it on a daily basis through their talent, influence, status, money and intellectual capital. But even more so, each of these women have exhibited the strength to overcome tremendous obstacles, the insight to innovate and inspire, and the passion and courage to go against the grain to change the lives of others for the better. Working Mother’s 50 Most Powerful Moms of 2013 (each of whom have at least one child under age 18) measure up in these ways and so many more.

Angela Ahrendts

[Fashion/Beauty]

CEO of Burberry Group

Children: Jennings, 17, Sommer, 16, Angelina, 12

As CEO of Burberry since 2006, Angela played an instrumental role in transforming the brand from stodgy trench-coat purveyor into an award-winning young luxury label with a widened scope of stylish offerings, actively promoting it through social media. The Indiana native moved to New York after college to begin her climb up the executive ranks. She was president of Donna Karan International from 1989 to 1996, where she gained luxury, wholesale, international and licensing experience. She was also EVP of Henri Bendel and Claiborne Inc. When asked about how her family’s move to London was faring, she told Newsweek/Daily Beast, “It’s fun when you have kids, because you get to play the ‘kids card’!”

I would have liked to wait

by wellons123 on September 11, 2013

I would have liked to wait until I was 70 to retire. Unfortunately, cordless phone jewelry boxI was laid off at 60 and after that couldn't find a job that paid more than what my social security would pay for at 62 years old. I imagine there are a lot of folks like me who were forced into early retirement. I put in my forty years, however, so why should I be penalized? Oh... and I was unemployed for two years after being laid off, which ate up most of my savings.Not the retirement I had envisioned.moon watches tonneau shaped watch german watch

I really appreciate the article/spread of 50 top moms; however, I am a little disappointed in the lack of diverisity (race, culture - and even types of jobs represented.) Most of the jobs were within the business sector or engineering....what about healthcare and education? I'm not saying these women have not earned their place - they have - what a great accomplishment!, but I have a hard time idenitfying with them. They have the means (including money, etc.) to support their families while they work 6-7 days a week. How about an article on "moms" who are "up-and -coming" - and how they are making it work. Just a thought!vong deo tay bang da mat ho
