The Anti-Supermom Trend : Healthy or Dangerous?

In this YouTube clip, I discuss both the positive and negative aspects of the anti-supermom trend and what it means for women. While the focus in recent years has been on becoming a domestic diva, some moms are proudly headed in the opposite direction. Here, I offer some analysis as well as a few thoughts to help women find their identity and maintain their voice in the crowd.See More

"I have the same question as Phoebe! How exciting. I'm originally from NYC and West Chester feels like a little piece of Greenwich Village to me. I really like it. It's undergone quite the transformation in the last 10 years."

At 7:04am on January 31, 2010, Judith Hope said…: Sarah, I wd be happy to be friends - I get a good sense of who you are and your life in Japan from your messages and your writings. Think we are very different people - yet, our strength in God is similar. Feel that you have been a great one for accepting change in your life ... and making a life .. for yourself and your children. Congratulations on who you are and what you do! More from me, soon.

I want to mean it. I don't want my fears to rule (or my need to control everything because of my fears). Thanks for writing on the topic and for being real and gutsy.

I am a fellow children's book author and am new to the site. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I look forward to getting to know the members of the board. I am also a prosecutor of child abuse and sex crimes in New York City and I received a terrific review that all parents should read and was hoping you would join me in a Twitter and Facebook campaign. Here is the link if you are interested. http://superfunmama.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-body-belongs-to-me-talking-with.html

All the best,

Glad to be connected here, though!

Welcome to Mother Writer! Wow, five kids, homeschooling and writing? I am amazed at what moms can do. Thanks for jumping in. Looking forward to hearing more about your journey.

At 7:50pm on August 29, 2009, Suzanne Linn Kamata said…: I live in a town called Aizumi, just over the river from Tokushima. "Ai" means indigo. This town was once known for its indigo production, but these days carrots are a major crop. I live in neighborhood of farmers - carrots, sweet potatoes, watermelon, rice. etc. Everyone around here (except my family) gets up at about 5AM! We moved here (into my mother-in-law's house) about four years ago, but previously we lived a couple towns over. I keep a blog at http://gaijinmama.wordpress.com.

By the way, since you write for children, you might be interested in joining SCBWI - Tokyo. There's a helpful listserv. http://www.scbwi.jp

At 7:43am on August 29, 2009, Suzanne Linn Kamata said…: Hi, Sarah. Thanks for getting in touch! I've never been to Aomori. I imagine it's a cold,snowy place in winter. It's known for its apples, right? How long have you lived there?

@mrsalbrecht

Info on Articles/Guest Posts: http://www.sarahjoyalbrecht.com/articles-guest-posts/

Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:: While I have three unpublished books (a story for children about a boy who hated to take baths but loved to get dirty, a concept guide for churches on bridging relationships between women of all generations, and a collection of essays from a Christian, homeschooling mom who has five small children, had an abdominal myomectomy, and who now lives with her family in rural Japan), my published work thus far has been in online, and in magazines and periodicals.

Media outlets that I currently write for:: In addition to keeping a blog since 2004 (including http://glamdring.org), I have been published in Writer's Digest, Advanced Christian Writer, Church Libraries, Nolan Chart Review, The Dating Papers, Diving Caroline, and in a number of newspapers. A complete list of awards and bylines can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/awards-bylines

My writing is:: Nonfiction, Memoir, Journalism, Blog Posts

Outlets where I review books, TV, or film:: Books for children and books on Christian living.

Services I offer to other writers:: Have you ever wondered what children would think of your book? I offer a "test audience" of five young readers, in addition to my "mom's perspective" critique of unpublished books for children.

I am also willing to bounce thoughts and be quoted on Christianity, parenting, marriage, homeschooling (I am a second-generation homeschooler), life in Japan, fibroid tumors / choosing a myomectomy vs. hysterectomy, and natural childbirth (I am a Bradley Method instructor).

I'm part of these writers' groups or salons:: No, but I would consider joining.

My professional associations:: Outside of the literary world, I am a certified teacher of the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth (http://bradleybirth.com/).

I found out about She Writes from:: (no referral)
