<title>Women and the Workplace: An interview with Madeleine Kunin</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19778/20120504/women-and-the-workplace-an-interview-with-madeleine-kunin</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 4, 2012) Discussion of women in the workplace was reinvigorated several weeks ago when Democrat Hilary Rosen chastised presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann Romney, for—quote—“not working a day in her life.” That set off another round of  “mommy wars”: sharp discussion of whether women are better off working to provide for their families or staying home with their children. And it raises an important question – why, 40 years after the women’s movement, it’s still so difficult for women to balance their families and their jobs. Madeleine Kunin was Vermont’s first female governor in 1985. She’s now 78 years old and has published a new book – “The New Feminist Agenda: Defining the next revolution for women, work, and family.” The book issues a clarion call for women, men, businesses, and government to make sure that workplace and family rights for women top their agendas. Sarah Harris spoke with Kunin about her book.Correction: Madeleine&apos;s age was initially reported as 79. She is in fact 78 years old.

<title>Secret warriors: women in the Civil War</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17164/20110216/secret-warriors-women-in-the-civil-war</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 16, 2011) Civil War buffs are commemorating the war’s 150th anniversary this year.  As part of an occasional series of conversations about the Civil War and its North Country connections, Todd Moe talks with a local re-enactor about women soldiers.  Some women served as nurses, spies or camp cooks during the war, but others marched into battle. Forbidden from the military during the Civil War, hundreds of women disguised their gender by wearing uniforms and using masculine names.  Canton Civil War re-enactor Martha Maine takes on the persona of her great grandfather, Harrison Carter Maine.   She says patriotic, eager for adventure, or to accompany their husbands, hundreds of women assumed male identities to win the right to fight.  Maine speaks on &quot;Women Soldiers in the Civil War&quot; at a Brown Bag Lunch program at noon this Thursday at the St. Lawrence County Historical Association in Canton.
