Corday: How did MomsRising.org get started?
Rowe-Finkbeiner: Joan Blades, the co-founder of MoveOn.org, and I co-wrote a book called The Motherhood Manifesto that talks about the six things we can do to make our country more family-friendly.

As a significant portion of baby-boom faculty begins to retire over the next decade, new generations of incoming faculty will be evaluating universities in light of their “family friendliness.” To maintain and enhance its world-class reputation, UC recognizes that generous, flexible policies serving academics’ needs over the life course afford the best chance of attracting and keeping in the academic pipeline talented women and men who desire both successful careers and family lives.
In 2003, a $420,000 grant from the Alfred P.
