213: Support for Working Parents with Ann-Marie Slaughter

On the Well Woman Show this week, I talk to Anne-Marie Slaughter, the CEO of New America. She was the first female director of Policy Planning for the United States Department of State and served as Dean of Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and professor of law at Harvard Law School. She has written or edited seven books, including “Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family”. In 2012, she published “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All,” in The Atlantic, which quickly became one of the most read articles in the history of the magazine and helped spark a renewed national debate on the continued obstacles to genuine full male-female equality.On the show we talk about:Why Ann Marie chooses to be an entrepreneur.Why work that involves investing in others isn't considered important but it should be.Why treating employees as capable adults makes better employees overall.All the information shared today can be found at the show notes at wellwomanlife.com/213showThe book she mentioned wasThe Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B DeboisYou can also continue the conversation in the Well Woman Life community group at wellwomanlife.com/facebookThe Well Woman Show is thankful for the support from the Well Woman Academy and High Desert Yoga in Albuquerque.
