A Double Life: Discovering Motherhood
Among the many things I had planned to do before the birth of my first child, one was post a review of Lisa Catherine Harper’s first book, A Double Life: Discovering Motherhood. Now over the initial shock of transitioning into motherhood, I realize all the more how valuable this book was and still is to [...]Mind The Financial Literacy Gender Gap
There’s a terrific chapter in financial journalist Helaine Olen’s new book Pound Foolish that debunks popular myths around gender and money fueling the personal finance literature aimed at women. Think women are less financially literate than men? According to research by Annamaria Luardi, a professor of economics and accountancy at George Washington University and the [...]Girl Rising
I can’t remember the last time I wanted to like a nonfiction film as much as I wanted to like Girl Rising. It promised to shed light on many of the issues I feel most passionately about: girls, education, gender-based oppression, and social inequality. Focused on the lives of nine girls around the world, the [...]NICE WORK: Women and Unions at the 50th Anniversary of the Equal Pay Act
The Equal Pay Act turns 50 on Monday, June 10, 2013 and the Council on Contemporary Families has convened an online symposium representing the latest thinking from pre-eminent work-family scholars, business people, and advocates for low-wage workers and unions. In one of the ten briefs, CUNY’s Ruth Milkman reports how labor unions—and women in them—spearheaded [...]How Giving a TEDx Talk Changed My Life
In February 2013, I gave a TEDx talk at TEDxWindyCity about the gendering of childhood in the earliest years of life. TEDx events, for those who may not know what the “x” stands for, are independently organized TED-like experiences created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “ideas worth spreading,” only at the local level. So, [...]Deborah Siegel's Page

Free to Be...and Free to Write...in Chicago!
Posted on November 19, 2012 at 8:30am 3 Comments 3 Likes
This summer I moved from Brooklyn to Chicago with my husband and toddler twins. I thought the change in locale might help slow me down. The opposite happened instead. The pace of a writing life has little to do, sometimes, with the city outside one’s head.
She Writes asked me to share…
Continue HAPPENING TONIGHT! Navigating the Pink Ghetto, Spilling Red Ink
Posted on June 11, 2012 at 12:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
In this town of writerly goodness, every once in a while an event rolls around that I feel I just can't miss. Still trying to line up a sitter, but damned if I won't be there. If anywhere near NYC tonight, I strongly encourage you to hightail it to this panel too -- which features members of my awesome authors' group, and the founder of…
Continue A Day in the Life of an OpEd (or, How This Busy Mama Writer Woman Somehow Managed to Get It All In!)
Posted on July 8, 2011 at 1:30pm 9 Comments 7 Likes
I wasn’t planning on spending a day and a half turning around an op-ed. But when editors from certain venues call, I jump. Some opportunities are just too good to turn down.
Colleagues—especially, often, academics, and especially, often, fellow writing mamas—sometimes ask me how it’s possible to turn something around with the speed that today’s media requires when you've got so much ELSE, er, going on. So I thought I’d break it down, blow by blow, in an effort to…

Jane Roper said… - Hi Deborah! Thanks for the welcome. Your thoughtful post about writing about our kids was actually what brought me here to She Writes (A friend passed the link along to me.) Congrats on your twins, and I hope you're enjoying the adventure. The one-to-three-years-old period is, well, challenging, but also delightful in countless ways. Like most things about parenting, I suppose! Cheers, JR.
