addendum to the conversation about women in the law
Since posting about women in the law yesterday, I ran across a FC Now blog post addressing How Working Mothers Find Work/Life balance. It poses this provocative question: “can a woman work hard enough to succeed in her career without coming across as a negligent mother?”
The post refers to a Novemebr 1, 2006 New York Times piece titled Working Mothers Find Some Peace on the Road. Among many other points of interest, that article offers the following observation: “as hard as it can be to balance the demands of business trips and family life, for the relatively small group of employed mothers who travel, it [solo business travel] can be delicious.”
