“The Opt-Out Generation Wants Back In”

The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 13, 2013

In 2003 a New York Times Magazine cover story looked at women who decided to leave their jobs to stay at home with their children. Ten years later, Judith Warner revisits women from that story, now trying to restart their careers.

Judith Warner wrote “The Opt-Out Generation Wants Back In” in the August 11 New York Times Magazine.
