SOM and CGO receive additional coverage in Bay Area Business Woman on rebuttal to NY Times piece
The Simmons SOM and its Center for Gender in Organizations (CGO) were featured in the November 2005 issue of Bay Area Business Woman in “Opting to Reframe: What Women Really Want.” The article features the opinion piece co-written by SOM Dean Deborah Merrill-Sands, Ph.D., Linda Basch, Ph.D., president of the National Council for Research on Women, and Ilene Lang, president for Catalyst in response to the New York Times’ Sept. 20 article, “Many Women at Elite Colleges Set Career Path to Motherhood.”
Their conclusions about the relevance of this story and others sweeping the media: “What women need most are not stories of highly educated women married to high earning men choosing to stay at home. Women - and the nation - need stories about flexible workplaces, adequate childcare and eldercare, living wages, equal pay, and companies that understand why retaining women workers and developing women leaders is good for the bottom line and the health of society at large and know how to retain them.”
