We at WVFC have been excited about Maria Shriver's A Woman's Nation project, which is being highlighted this weeek on NBC-TV. (At the bottom of the post, see Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm talk to Shriver on the Today Show.) Look here tomorrow for word from our own Diane Vacca, evaluating the new report issued this week by Shriver and her team.
Now, via our sisters at Women's Media Center, we offer some words on the project from the woman who first taught many of us to stand up for our place in the world. Read below (including the link to WMC), and then let us know in comments: Do you think she's right? What do you hope the Shriver report will do? How do you plan to be included? (Ed.)
You're going to be seeing a multimedia blitz about a new national study of women's status called The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Changes Everything. Gloria Steinem gives you a preview of this project created by Maria Shriver and a D.C. think tank, and suggests ways you can use it and also judge its success.
For the first time in the history of the United States, half of all people on payrolls are women. This big landmark is the centerpiece of The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Changes Everything, a newly released 400-plus page study that includes a national poll of changing attitudes among women and men, and two dozen essays from experts on various aspects of women's status, provided free office space and other in-kind support, will make it the subject of a week of television programming.
