Join the Women and Work Blog Carnival now


Is that a ripe topic or what? Talk about your evergreen.

Here are the details for participating, brought to us by the wonderful folks who helped organize the first-ever and fully loaded Fem2pt0 conference I attended in the beginning of February

What is work? What kind of work has value? Does the traditional definition of work — the 9 to 5 job with benefits — reflect the economic realities of today, especially for women designing their own work patterns to accommodate their families? Over the next few days, with Momsrising and noted bloggers, we will conduct a small online campaign to try to start a fresh conversation around this issue.

A blog post by Joan C. Williams, Director, Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California, Hastings, will appear on fem2pt0.org in the next day or so.

We invite you to participate in this campaign in the following ways:

  1. Blog about it by Saturday, March 28, and send us the link so we can add your post to the blog carnival.  info@fem2pt0.com
  2. Participate in the Sunday night Fem2.0 twittercast, March 29, 10 PM EST, hashtag #fem2


Please pass this on to anyone you think would be interested in participating. Thanks for any help you can give to this campaign.

Several conversation-starting posts can already be found here.  It’s not too late and it doesn’t have to be something written especially for the carnival, just relevant to the questions we’re all asking.

I’ve participated in a few of the twittercasts – they are fast-paced, provocative and often deal with topics not usually initiated, always with smart, engaged tweeps.  Hope to see you there tomorrow night.

    I see work as something that comes from one’s true talent. Its what we were designed to do and usually that doesn’t include time in a hierarchial system. Working in such an environment denies who we are as women and that creates a black hole inside of us. I believe we need to find our effortless enegy and often that means we have to Dare to be Different!
