Op/Ed: Hilary Rosen created a firestorm by her recent comment about Ann Romney never having “worked.” While Rosen has been criticized by many on both sides of the political agenda for this remark, one positive result is the conversation (again!) around the issue of women and work. Is it possible that this will once and for all quiet the furor regarding the “choices” families make surrounding what should be called “work” of the most important domain, mothering? Not likely, for political reasons as much as personal and family reasons.
