The American ideal once saw women at home, while men went to work. But cultural expectations have changed, and for many women that's not possible or desirable. Still, women say the child care system hasn't adjusted, and they bear the brunt of its problems.
We turn back the clock and listen to a women's work ad from the 70's promoting women becoming secretaries. It's safe to say we've come a long way! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mom influencing is a multi-billion dollar industry. How the hell did we get here? How did influencing become a job? Why doesn’t Wikipedia mention mom bloggers in their history of women and what does the 19th Century economic philosopher Thorstein Veblen have to do with why we are so enchanted by people who seem wealthier than we are. Consider this your history lesson of women influencing other women to attempt to lead more perfect lives. We start in 1896 with the creation of Vogue, wonder if Lucille Ball was actually the first mom influencer, and scroll all the way to the the beautiful mess of the early Mom Internet. Moms have been commodified since the beginning of moms, the only difference now is who is making the goddamn money. And if past is prologue, will answering all these questions help Jo figure out how to become the influencer of her dreams? Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
COVID 19 has exposed the very real fact that working women depend on outside support in order to do their jobs-support that has virtually disappeared during the pandemic. The loss of childcare, school and other services has forced so very many of us to leave the workforce or at the very least, stretch ourselves WAY too thin. Join us as we explore how to harness the power of women to make the systemic changes necessary to support all working women, during COVID and beyond. SHOW NOTESIn this episode of Crina and Kirsten Get Work, our dynamic duo discuss what Covid has magnified about women and work. In short, Covid has taken its toll in so many ways - including women and their work. In Part I of Women’s Work and Covid the focus was that “COVID-19 is hard on women because the U.S. economy is hard on women, and this virus excels at taking existing tensions and ratcheting them up.” Why has COVID-19 been especially harmful for working women? This is because women hold more low-wage and face to face jobs and these types of jobs were especially hit with layoffs. Losses in child care and school hours as a result of the pandemic have and will likely lead to a significant decline in women’s total wages and an increase in women leaving the workforce. And this whole “dealio” threatens the progress women have made in the last years. COVID has created the perfect storm and exposed what already existed: we “let” women be successful, but only if they can simultaneously care for the children, the elderly, the husbands, the community, etc. If you can add a shift in your day from 8pm to 3 am to get your work done, plan the team potluck or whatever, you are golden. We all know this is unsustainable and based on the big fat lie that certain work such as caring for children, families and households is primarily the purview of women. The paradigm is false. There are systemic issues that create and exacerbate the work women have been shouldering, all exacerbated by COVID. Those systemic issues include insufficient childcare, no care when children are ill, a lack of support for the elderly, lack of predictable schedules, and, oh yes, minimum wage jobs held by single women with children who could not hope to sustain their life and the life of their children on minimum wage. None of these issues are women’s issues, they are family issues and we need to start thinking about them as such. The solution is to change things on a federal level. If we change things with individual employers, individual cities or states, we risk advancing some and leaving others behind. We need a solution for everyone. The Women’s National Law Center is an excellent place to explore solutions on the federal level. Listeners should consider taking action to support these federal solutions on issues such as:.ChildcareImproving the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Would Help Working Families with the High Cost of Child Care | NWLCRegulating SchedulesNational Women's Law Center Take Action: Tell Congress to Support Fair Work Schedules (nwlc.org) - Seattle has this restriction on the ability to change schedules without noticeAnd don’t forget paid time off,and raising the minimum wage. And don’t forget, the best thing we can do is to support, raise up and sponsor other women - as individuals and collectively.
Women, work and COVID 19 adds up to a whole lot of frustration, lost wages and lost jobs. It has also exacerbated systemic issues that women have been dealing with for a very long time, most notably: The fact that women, many of whom work for minimum wage and/or in service jobs, depend on childcare, school and other social programs in order to do their jobs.SHOW NOTESOn this episode of Crina and Kirsten Get to Work, our hosts embark on a two part series about women and Covid-19 - the effect of the pandemic on women at work. In part one, our data-driven duo delve into the data to figure out what is happening to women at work in the pandemic. Crina revisits the basics of what we know about women at work. We make up over half of the US labor force, we make less money than men and we occupy fewer high-level and C-suite positions. We women typically have more care-taking obligations and household duties than men. The Department of Labor tells us that the top 10 jobs that women occupy are: teacher, nurse, home health aid, secretary, cashier, customer service rep, retail sales,waitress, supervisor of retail sales, managers, which require a knowledge of the management and operations of an organization, rather than a scientific, technical, or administrative specialty. 100 Years of Working Women. 25% of us have a child at home under 14. And according to the State of Women at Work survey by McKinsey and Lean In, women are doing more of all of this during the pandemic. And the systems that support women in their work - childcare and schools - are closed, providing less services - and are basically inadequate - and this is against the backdrop that no state in our great Union offers what is considered affordable childcare, which is defined as 7% of your income. https://www.brookings.edu/essay/why-has-covid-19-been-especially-harmful-for-working-women/ As you would expect - all of this leaves women feeling stressed and anxious. Women are worrying about losing a job, the pandemic, cold-care, home-schooling, kids returning home, caregiving, racial inequity, economy - what is not stressful? Many women have jobs that are service focused and are not conducive to remote work - which means they are dealing with masks, fear of illness for them and their families, customers and co-workers who may have their own perspective about Covid safety - in other words - hard work has become harder. Women who are working remotely say that are more productive, but it comes at a cost - more meetings, more hours working, less distinction between work and homeRemote Work Statistics: Navigating the New Normal The fact is that work is not working for many women. Weber Shandwick reports that 66% of their respondents in a September survey report planning to switch jobs, move to another town or cut their work to part-time. One in four are considering this due to COVID. Four times as many women as men dropped out of the labor force in September 2020, roughly 865,000 women compared with 216,000 men. How the Coronavirus Crisis Threatens to Set Back Women’s Careers Women leaving the labor force and reducing work hours to assume caretaking responsibilities amounts to $64.5 billion per year in lost wages and economic activity. How COVID-19 Sent Women's Workforce Progress Back As stated by the Brooks Institute “Covid is hard on women because the U.S. economy is hard on women, and this virus excels at taking existing tensions and ratcheting them up.” Why has COVID-19 been especially harmful for working women? We look at the systems that support women at work as social welfare systems, childcare, school, elder care, health care, but in fact they are economic development programs. Our government and society needs to develop the support structures necessary to support an important, integral and valuable aspect of our economy - women at work. Stay tuned for the next episode when our hosts discuss what next.

This episode of Electric Violins Shop's "Rockstar Violinist" podcast features one of our own--EVS staff cellist Shana Tucker! Sadly, we don't see as much of Shana in the shop as we'd like to these days, but that's only because as an in-demand performer, recording artist and educator she is practically always booked! Above and beyond playing the cello, Shana is also a talented singer-songwriter. With a deep respect for lyrical storytelling, she delivers a unique voice through her self-described genre of ChamberSoul™. Shana's melodies weave strong hints of jazz, classical, soulful folk, acoustic pop and a touch of R&B into a distinctive rhythmic tapestry. An NPR interview about Shana's debut CD, "SHiNE" and her ChamberSoul style prompted an invitation from Cirque du Soleil to join the company as cellist/vocalist for their show, KÀ in Las Vegas, where she stayed and performed for five years before returning to North Carolina.Shana is currently a featured artist performing with legendary jazz saxophonist/composer Bennie Maupin; jazz drummer/composer Shirazette Tinnin and Sonic WallPaper; Grammy-nominated NuSoul collective, The Foreign Exchange. Her newest project, Women's Work, a female-led collective of jazz, soul and pop singer-songwriters and musicians representing both east and west coasts. Having opened for internationally-acclaimed artists including Norah Jones, Lisa Fischer, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Hamiet Bluett, Javon Jackson, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and Indigo Girls, Shana's vocals and cello are featured on several studio and live recording projects by both independent and signed label artists and producers. She also devotes a considerable amount of her time to working with students in schools & universities, community centers and summer camps throughout the year as part of her mission to promote arts education programming for students of all ages. Shana Tucker is an NS Design artist and plays a 'US5' 5-string electric cello, which is the US-made predecessor to their current CR5 model. You can learn more about her at shanatucker.com. Music heard in this episode: Intro Music - "The Precious Ones” from the Shine album "No Get Back" from the Shine album "Be Still My Beating Heart" - from YouTube "In the Moment" - Single "What’s Love Got To Do With It" - Single "November" from the Shine album "Shine" from the Shine album Rockstar Violinist is the Electric Violin Shop podcast, hosted by Matt Bell and featuring interviews with the most creative and noteworthy electric strings performing and recording artists.

A lesson designed to highlight and encourage the value of homemakers in every generation.
When it comes to work in the home, women are still shouldering the burden. As women make more money and spend more time at paid jobs, they continue to take on the "second shift," coming home to laundry, dishes, and dirty floors. Charlotte and Grace get personal and share how they have (and have not) managed household chores in their homes and the impact that it has had on their current and past relationships. They look at the notion of "performing gender" and the pressures on women to keep a clean house. They explore how gender equity in the home can benefit the sex lives of both men and women. How do you manage the labor in your household? Share your stories with us! We'd love to hear if you've found a great balance that works for you or about your struggles to gain equity when it comes to housework.

Iceland has taken radical measures to reduce its gender pay gap. These aren't just about equalising pay when men and women do the same job but when they do different jobs of equal value. That's proved to be quite a sticking point in many countries around the world; ensuring that the jobs routinely occupied by women are paid as well as those that men do. Lesley Curwen meets the people tasked with comparing a production line worker with an office administrator, an HR professional with an accountant and a camera operator with a social media marketeer. What has the financial and cultural impact been on companies that have had to adjust their pay rates and what do their employees think about the process? Is the Iceland model one that other countries could follow? Presenter: Lesley Curwen Producer: Rosamund Jones Picture Credit: Getty Creative

Community cookbooks—you know, those spiral bound collections with each contributor credited--began as a way for women to come together and share recipes and to support a common cause be it a local church, school, club, or other fundraising goal. The concept became so popular and spread rapidly throughout the nation that more than 3,000 charity cookbooks were published between 1864 and 1922, according to Feeding America, an historic cookbook project of Michigan State University. Antiquarian bookseller, collector and food historian Don Lindgren shares his insights into this movement from charitable funding to the breaking of gender limits.

Shana Tucker, the originator of chamber-soul joins CreativeTalk to discuss authenticity and intention. Growing up on Long Island, NY as a beneficiary of public school arts education, Shana's classical cello and singing talents awarded her a scholarship to Howard University in Washington, DC, where she was first introduced to jazz and other essential musical resources, on campus and around the city. While at Howard, Shana initiated her improvisation chops and honed her songwriting skills, but decided to relocate to NYC to study with master cellist Marion Feldman and complete her undergraduate studies in performance at CUNY-Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music. An NPR interview about Shana's debut CD, "SHiNE" and her ChamberSoul style prompted an invitation from Cirque du Soleil to join the company as cellist/vocalist for their show, KÀ in Las Vegas, where she stayed and performed for five years before returning to North Carolina.

This is the story of how to keep doing your ordinary work without feeling discouraged during the Christmas season. The wonder of the holidays can be diluted when we have to balance it with the work we do that makes gifts and celebrations possible. This week Lisa-Jo and Christie unpack the reality that everything doesn't stop just because it's December. Instead there are still deadlines and work commitments and maybe that's actually OK too. Maybe we don't need to believe the Hallmark premise that everything stops around the holidays in time for hot chocolate and mistletoe. Maybe for so many of us the courage to keep providing for our families in the midst of the meaningful season is itself a good and generous gift. This week we celebrate the holiday season that has to find a way to fit hand in hand with our ordinary, daily work. And we recognize that different lives have different rhythms of work and rest and there is no one perfect pattern. And we discuss how the work we're doing here on earth will likely bear fruit in the kingdom to come. So, lean into your own timetable this season and let Christmas unfold slowly, and let your family and friends off the hook and give them permission to be themselves in the way they work and the way they rest too. Books mentioned this week: Poetry by Gwendolyn Brooks Leaf by Niggle by JRR Tolkien Quotidian Mysteries, The: Laundry, Liturgy and "Women's Work" by Kathleen Norris See more of Maplehurst and meet Christie here.

While we're busy getting ready for the fall season of the show around here, I thought I'd share one of my favorite earlier episodes of Women's Work, before we merged it into one lovely show here. Tanorria Askew is a personal chef and through her business, Tanorria’s Table, people can hire her for both everyday meals and special occasions. Her cooking roots originate from the south, and Tanorria says she loves to put a modern spin on American Comfort Food — she recently placed 4th on Master Chef! She’s passionate about good food, gathering people around the table to have good conversations, and enjoying life through it all. Her can-do attitude is contagious. Honestly... You can't not love Tanorria.

Lacey Beam is a small-town attorney, primarily doing indigent defense work. Where she lives and works isn’t large enough for a public defender’s office, so this means she works for a small firm, but the majority of her caseload is court-appointed work. She says it allows her to have her heart broken on a regular basis, but she’s grateful she gets to serve her community with this type of legal work. Plus, a big announcement about some BIG changes around here! Stay to the end.

Peggy is joined by Colleen Egan, director of people, culture, and endless possibilities for Clarity Partners, explains how she started as a nurse, and soon became involved in administration, but was discouraged by the lack of technology adoption in healthcare. She always knew that people were the most important part of companies. She discusses how women make up 57% of the workforce, but only 20% of the tech industry, and there has been a shift since she has started. There has always been a cultural definition of women's work, but girls need supportive parents and educators, and need people to get past the gender bias and these roadblocks. She says the most important thing for women starting out in their careers is to believe in themselves.
Unbelievable. They did it and we can't believe it. The Handmaid's Tale on HULU ends on a non-flashback happy moment! What an absolutely fantastic job by everyone in this episode. Yvonne Strahovski is absolutely award worthy in her performance in this episode. Madeline Brewer absolutely brings the heat and delivers some of the most purely human moments that this show has ever seen. Fred somehow ups his stock as THE WORST!!! Ugh. This show. Sarah and Justin are here to break it all down. Enjoy and thank you for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/themaydaypodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/themaydaypodcast/support
When Audrey Gelman opened the women-only co-working and community space the Wing in the fall of 2016, she had no way of knowing that it would quickly become swept up in a larger movement around women’s rights. As the Wing expands around the US and the world, we asked Gelman about navigating this highly charged cultural moment and the push-back that women often get when they go after what they want.
Vicky Sanderson came of age in the 60's, admired strong female role models in the 70's and 80's, and became a Lifestyle, Home and Decor expert in the 90's and beyond. This was done all while raising four kids and making sure that each of them learned the importance of gender equality and activism. Learning from her first role model - her own mother - Vicky learned that a woman's place was not just in the home, but wherever she wanted it to be, and that in spite of societal dictates of the time that relegated many women to narrow career possibilities, one could still make a difference in the world. In this episode of the podcast, Vicky and Sam discuss these topics and more, including the rise of gender reveal parties, open concept design and smart home technology.

If you only listen for our review of Giles singing 'Behind Blue Eyes' we will understand. Happy Valentines Day with Buffy 418, Where the Wild Things Are!

Fiber artist, activist, mother (and longtime favorite of the pod!) Shelly Georgopulous joins us this week to talk about her evolution as a feminist artist. Shelly uses embroidery as a gentle form of protest to fight the misogyny, racism, and relentless chaos of T****’s America. We delve into the creative and political legacy of “women’s work” and how we’re learning to channel our anger, model activism for kids, and stay sane so we can keep fighting.

In the first segment, Jenn and Daren discuss the Canadian Poet Laureate who stole ‘Still I Rise’ from Maya Angelou, the problem with those "Phenomenal Women" t-shirts, and the historical erasure of Black Women's work. In the second segment, they talk about the role of Black women in the workplace, very public examples of Black women’s erasure like the adaptation of Nnedi Okorafor's novel "Who Fears Death" at HBO, and the ways patriarchy also operates to shut up Black women like Jemele Hill and Munroe Bergdorf. In the third segment, Jenn and Daren reflect on their own relationships with the erasure of Black women and how they navigate that in their lives and in their relationship.

We do “adult” differently. We are That Black Couple. Our goal is to create a space for Black millennials to discuss and embody adult life on their own terms. We aren’t beholden to “traditional” gender or parenting roles, queerness is fluid and present in the ways we show up in our relationships and in the world, and we want to build community with other 30-something Black folx who are trying to figure this ish out.

Women around the world face varying degrees of gender discrimination in the workplace — whether they're hired, how much they're paid, whether they advance as fast as men doing the same job. In Jordan, where girls and women generally do better than their male counterparts in school, and where more women than men attend college, startlingly few women participate in the workforce. Why? Asma Khader, a Jordanian lawyer, women's rights activist and former government official, weighs in, in conversation with The World's Shirin Jaafari.

Here at International Realness, we’re all about bad-ass ladies getting things done. Today, we’re happy to present the story of the Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace, and how these incredible human beings successfully SHUT DOWN a civil war in their country. They were able to achieve this with non-violence, solidarity between different religions, and one extra special, ancient, strategy. Let’s just say they strategically shut down the fish market.Listen HereDownload/Subscribe on iTunes and StitcherShow NotesPhoto Credit Abby flat-coat

Why do comparatively few women pursue careers in computer related technology and should we be concerned that they don't? As a computer professional turned equality and diversity specialist I don't have any simple answers, but I highlight in this piece the reasons why women have as much a role to play as men, and some of the things we should perhaps be looking at to tackle the huge gender imbalance in the parts of the industry where women could be tackling better paid roles.
