Parentopia Prop Goes To Gillian Shaw of the Vancouver Sun

Gillian Shaw's article The mommy factor: Maternal wall joins glass ceiling to limit women's options receives a Parentopia Prop for addressing the numerous factors contributing to what some have dubbed "The Maternal Ceiling" while including quotes from mothers with varied perspectives. You will not find any bloviating nor one upmomship in regard to combining employment and parenting. This article presents what we would consider a well-rounded view of issues pertaining to mothers in the workforce and offers insight as to ways some mothers have chosen to handle them.

Included is a reference to the "Litigating the Maternal Wall Study" from the Work Life Law Center at UC Hastings (Joan Williams rocks our world!) and Shaw reports 30 of the 100 Best companies are mentioned in that study. Here is the link to the study with a hat tip to Ms. Shaw providing it.

We've notified Ms. Shaw of her prop and thanked her for her work.
