Recently the much awaited Shriver Report has gotten alot of attention. It seems to be serving as a wake up call to what us working women already knew. The game has changed! In large part because of women & our changing rolls. If you are a women this day in age, especially a working mom I would encourage you to partake in the conversation.

All this week NBC is spotlighting the report, the issues, & the author. You can fallow along by going to www.women.msnbc.com  or purchase the report  from http://awomansnation.com/index.php in ebook form or print on demand.

This is a high power report that brings to light a nation of women. It opens the dialog and spot lights those women who have been doing it for years. Bringing these issues to the for front in such a brilliant format has demanded attentioand is not the same burn your bra feet stomping rally that people have turned a deaf ear to for years now. Finally a brilliant women with a calm, studied voice speaks volumes for us all to the masses.  I highly recommend it & welcome any feed back from my fellow working women.

This report describes how a woman’s nation changes everything about how we live and work today. Now for the first time in our nation’s history, women are half of all U.S. workers and mothers are the primary breadwinners or co-breadwinners in nearly two-thirds of American families. This is a dramatic shift from just a generation ago (in 1967 women made up only one-third of all workers). It changes how women spend their days and has a ripple effect that reverberates throughout our nation. It fundamentally changes how we all work and live, not just women but also their families, their co-workers, their bosses, their faith institutions, and their communities.

Quite simply, women as half of all workers changes everything.
