Working Mother

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Working Mother magazine

Working Mother is a national consumer magazine that helps career-committed moms balance their personal and professional lives.

First published in 1980, Working Mother, was purchased by Working Mother Media in 2001. The magazine aims to support and empower today's working moms in their pursuit of success–however they define it. Three editorial sections wihtin the title– You, Work, Family–are focused on the complexity, humor and richness inherent in being a real working mom. And through several groundbreaking initiatives, Working Mother has positioned itself as a serious advocate for the issues that matter most to working women.

The annual October Working Mother 100 Best Companies issue has become an influential benchmark for companies who want to be recognized for their commitment to best WorkLife practices, and the groundbreaking Working Mother Best Companies for Women of Color has opened an dialogue on race, gender and ethnicity in the workplace.
