What Mothers and Women Need and How to Get It

Women and mothers have been in the news recently with the Hilary Rosen smack down of Ann Romney. Despite the media's insistence that this is a "Mommy War" between stay-at-home-moms and moms who work outside the home for a living, women everywhere have changed the conversation to the one that really matters: the policies that support mothers, whether they work in the home (because care-taking is still work, albeit invisible work), or work out of the home to make an income. Only when politicians realize that women are not a special interest group, but instead are 50% of the voting electorate, then real change can be effected. As an advocate for women's and mothers' rights, Estelle Sobel Erasmus' goal is to get society and government to value the unpaid work that mothers and caretakers do, by separating the role of "mother" from the "work" of mothering. In fact, the health of women and mothers is at stake as the increase in disease and depression continues to rise. Join journalist, blogger, author, advocate, Estelle Sobel Erasmus in this discussion and let's find solutions together.
