“The Opt-Out Generation Wants Back In”




Midday on WNYC show

Summary: In 2003 a New York Times Magazine cover story looked at women who decided to leave their jobs to stay at home with their children. Ten years later, Judith Warner revisits women from that story, now trying to restart their careers. She looks at the challenges of working mothers, the challenges of staying home, and how the changing economic landscape of the past decade has effected their home and working lives. Judith Warner wrote “The Opt-Out Generation Wants Back In” in the August 11 New York Times Magazine.
