UC Hastings In The News

In the posting Feminists at Fault? on today's Economix blog on the New York Times, Nancy Folbre references the report "Opt Out" or Pushed Out?: How the Press Covers Work/Family Conflict from The Center for WorkLife Law at UC Hastings College of the Law. Folbre disagrees with writer David Leonhardt by arguing that feminist organizations have fought for policies relating to family responsibilities in their drive to achieve equal rights and opportunities.

Folbre cites the report by Joan Williams, Jessica Manvell, and Stephanie Bornstein, which presents a content analysis of news stories that discuss women leaving the workplace, along with other organization's views of media coverage of this subject.
