Work Vs. Family, Complicated by Race

I always hesitate to link to NYT articles for this very reason. I thought this one was special and would go overlooked because it was in Fashion and Style. But you'd think they would either figure out how to support the site with advertising or just make it a paid subscription site like the WSJ. The problem is, they've let the genie out of the bottle and are trying to stuff it back in with Times Select. I think they'd get a ton more links and readers if they stopped the limited free viewing time or, at least, charged a more reasonable price per article. One article shouldn't cost more than the cost of buying the whole paper for the day!

I don't know how much longer this link will be good for but try here ( http://wfnetwork.bc.edu/template.php?name=newsanno... ).

It's not every newspaper that forces readers to pay four bucks or more to read an article a few days after its publication. It's Feb. 19th and already the Feb. 9th NY Times article central to this thread is no longer available to read free of charge. I've really had it with this particular policy of the Times. - Marian Douglas

This article was a great read and very much-needed. I was interviewed for this article a couple of weeks ago because I am the editor of Mommy Too! ( http://www.mommytoo.com )magazine. I hate that I wasn't included in the final piece primarily because I like to be a part of the national conversation on important issues such as this.

Nevertheless, it is an amazing piece, capturing the true opinions of most black moms in America. It's unfortunate, though, that articles about black motherhood only surface about once a year, if that.

Well-written, interesting, and informative article. Thanks for the link.
