Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

[10], 306 pages. Index. Small tear at bottom of title page. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. to Ann Kolker! Active in women''s political and health issues, Ann Kolker was an early member of the National Women''s Political Caucus, and was present at the creation of EMILY''s List. She worked at the National Women''s Law Center on health policy and women''s equality issues and related legislation, advocating for the passage of the Family Medical Leave Act. Judy Mann (December 24, 1943 in Washington, D.C. - July 8, 2005) was a correspondent for the Washington Post where she wrote about women, children, and the politics of the women's movement. Mann spent her childhood in Paris and was able to speak fluent French before returning to the US to go to high school. She graduated from Washington-Lee High School in Arlington. While still in high school, Mann worked for the Northern Virginia Sun where she was an assistant teen editor. Mann later obtained her degree from Barnard College. During her time here, she joined a group and students and they traveled to Cuba, disobeying US law. In 1966, Mann worked as a sales representative for Avon products. From 1968-1972, she worked as a reporter and editor for the Washington Daily News. Mann was known for her liberal and feminist outlook and writings. She truly wanted to expand the women's rights, which is why she put so much passion into her writing on this subject. She began working for The Post in 1972 as a city reporter and worked there for almost 30 years. She eventually worked her way up to becoming day city editor and finally a columnist in 1978. Mann won many awards for her work on women's rights, population control, and child welfare. From her house in suburban Washington to the White House, Judy Mann is a keen observer of modern life. This collection of columns includes a number of her favorite subjects--the battle of the sexes, media's treatment of women, memorable people she has interviewed, divorce, technology, and family ties. Arguing that the feminist movement strenuously promoted women's rights while neglecting the issue of individual choice, Mann, in her Washington Post columns, reviews the role and treatment of women in the workplace, politics, courts and the media, and assess the condition of the American family. Drawing on her experience as a single working mother, her writing covers a range of topics, from national issues--drugs, child abuse--to profiles of memorable though little- known people. Among her suggestions for improvements: persuading men to make women full partners; lengthening school days; and involving the state and business in family and health support systems that will provide adjustable work schedules and options for tending young and elderly dependents.…
