What is it about Lent and Easter that brings all the stories about women's lives out into the popular media?
Over breakfast this morning in the Montreal Gazette, I read that Canadian women are increasingly rejecting the workforce, despite a 30-year record low unemployment rate of 3.9% and strong demand for workers of all ages and stripes. Then Arts & Letters Daily tells me about this Economist article which states that women are the new power of the global economy. While the obvious tone of the Economist article seems positive and affirming, the underlying message is still that women bring their situation on themselves.
