Have to say, tho', I am less than fascinated by Ms. Loh's & Ms. Whozis' articles. Tho'I support anyone's therapeutic efforts, I also respect the privacy principle. Do I really want to know the more intimate details about people I never met? Give it up for Ms. Ehrenreich & you for repeating her excellent piece for all of us!

It is a topic I think about all the time. What's interesting to me about the current wave of feminism (at least as it applies to mothering) is the way in which women have ceased seeing each other as sisters and started looking at each as adversaries - stay-at-home mom vs. working mom; sacrificial mothers vs. balanced-life mothers; etc. Judith Warner writes about the ways in which the women's movement could continue to move forward if we started paying more attention to our similarities than to our differences. I'm inclined to agree. Thanks for the food for thought today. Hi Delia – Thanks for bringing my attention to this post. It is a topic I think about all the time.
