Maria Shriver (in conjunction with hp) has created a report and set up a related website, A Woman's Nation.  It's about the place of women at work, how the US needs to adjust to having so many kids with either a single parent or both parents working yet there's not enough child care, and other implications of women in the workplace that have been underrepresented in politics, social policy, and the media.

There are some good articles there.  For example, a quote from "Where Have You Gone, Roseanne Barr?" by Susan J. Douglas:

"Women’s professional success and financial status are significantlyoverrepresented in the mainstream media, suggesting that women indeed“have it all.” Yet in real life, even as most women work, there are fartoo few women among the highest ranks of the professions and millionsof everyday women struggle to make ends meet and to juggle work andfamily....what much of the media give us today are little more than fantasies of power....representations of women as working-class or middle-class breadwinners,such as those we used to see in “Roseanne,” “Grace Under Fire,” “OneDay at a Time,” “Kate & Allie,” and “Cagney & Lacey,” havevirtually vanished from the small screen."

I recommend the website and this article in particular.

But — look at the image they have at the top of every page!



How much is wrong here?  Like, beauty standard much?  All young?  No one seems to have a disability?
