This is evident in the recent essay by Katie Rophie, a diehard feminist, regarding her shockingly loving relationship with her new baby. Some  feminist are besides themselves of how to explain this lapse. It&#8217;s worth remembering [...]]]></description>

I found this story in the New York Times to be telling of the mental state of America. A former facility of Bethlehem Steel has been converted to a $743 million Sands casino and enjoying a lucrative opening. We have come to believe that the main component of success is luck. Instead of work, thrift, [...]]]></description>

My instant reaction was how demeaned that man must feel. I must confess, I am not one taken to manicures, pedicures, facials, and wax jobs done [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Read this article in U.S. News about how mothers are rejecting both the full-time career and the soccer mom model. It&#8217;s about time that we recognize something that has been going on for all of women&#8217;s history. Very few women have had the opportunity, or the inclination, to be full-time homemakers. Most women prefer to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend Susan just sent me this story in The New York Times about how little domestic relationships have changed. While women have negotiated a better position in the work place, the responsibilities at home remain virtually unchanged. Due partly to self-inflicted expectations and, partly to ingrained gender habits,  women finds themselves overburden with [...]]]></description>

Emily Bazelton at Slate&#160; offers a review. Apparently, Hirshman&#8217;s solution to women&#8217;s problems is to work harder at their careers. In my perspective, the problem worldwide [...]]]></description>
