Is Stress a Feminist Issue?
I want to talk a little bit more about stress. Not because I am super stressed out (which I am not after spending all of Monday in my PJs, watching an X Files marathon), but because I do think that stress… Read more ›

Just the other day, I was talking to one of my teacher friends who works at a different school than I do. He was telling me about the recent cuts his school district has suffered – even though the economy… Read more ›
Bringing Home the Bacon
I make more money than Tim. Not much more, but enough that it’s sometimes noticeable. Our checks are about the same amount each time we get them, but he gets paid twice a month and I get paid every two… Read more ›
Guest Post: Feminism and the Glass Ceiling
When I started my new job three years ago, the author of this post and I quickly discovered that we were very alike – we both consider ourselves feminists, we both work very hard to do a good job teaching,… Read more ›
