The U.S. and its (completely, utterly) insufficient family/medical leave policies--The Motherhood Manifesto documentary

Along with my random thoughts, rants, vents etc about grad school and related issues, I wanted to also post interesting resources and information about other issues that I care (very much) about on this blog.

Below is a link to information about a great documentary entitled, The Motherhood Manifesto.  )This documentary is available in some libraries).  In a nutshell, it discusses how the U.S. is at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to family/medical leave policies; it does an excellent job of connecting this huge shortcoming to other social problems/issues.  I'm always saddened at how these issues are glossed over in elections and political debates.
