As a writer of a blog myself at malialitman@wordpress.com (over 4.5Million views), I realize and appreciate the contribution of women to ournational conversation. I am hoping thatyou will help me launch the third wave of feminism.

Women are dying! We are capable of having it all, but not at the sametime! We need help, and this is the first book that really providesadvice. Because I have been a professional without children, aprofessional with children, and a stay at home mother, I have a uniqueperspective on the challenge women face. Because I suffer from M.S., adisease exacerbated by stress, and one that affects women more than men, I aman example to women of the dangers inherent in trying to have it all,simultaneously.

Evolution of the Feminine Mystique: Searching forHappily Ever After will be available on Kindle on Sept 1 , and will be free for the first 3 days . It will be a revolutionarye-book as it has over 50video links. The reader will watch videos as they read the manuscript. Hereis a description of the book:

The single greatest challenge for women today isfinding the right balance between personal and professional life. Thethird wave of feminism is here.

Betty Friedan compared the feminist revolution toevolution, when she said:

“The feminist revolution had to be fought becausewomen quite simply were stopped at a state of evolution far short of theirhuman capacity.”

Now that we have reached the absolute limit ofour human capacity we need help! Unlike any other, this book gives womenpermission to re-define success without apologizing for our choices. Ifwe are to survive, we must evolve. Instead of feeling empowered we are feelingtired. Instead of feeling successful at home and work, we are feelingfrustrated that there is never enough time to do all that needs to beaccomplished personally and professionally. Illnesses that are stress-relatedare occurring nearly twice as often in women as men. The stress of trying to have itall is having dramaticeffects on women’s health. Death rates, auto immune diseases, depression,alcohol abuse, and heart attack haveall risen at alarming levels. Instead of asking “Is this all?” we are asking “AmI losing it all?” Instead oftrying to have it all, weshould be searching for our happilyever after.

The Evolution of the Feminine Mystique is acompass for women. The ultimate destination will be different for everywoman. However with the right tools, every woman can reach her happilyever after.

And there was automatic audio too (I'm sure there's some fancy name for that but I'm not enough of a nerd to know it). That shit is the work of the devil.

So...when you caught them, did make them go to the "cooler" (ie: Gecko's stomach). Speaking of Gecko...is he as charming in real life as he is on the ads?

Ok...now here's a WTF...as I was typing a response to another response, I heard a vacuum cleaner...which is odd since I'm the only one in the office. It was an ad for a vacuum and a rapper.

Man, that sucks.

The wild speculation in Harvard guy's article ( suppose he's paid so much...suppose the interest rate is so much...suppose the estate tax is so much...) and the "revelation" that he's supposedly only looking out for his kids made so much more sense when I saw that part of the byline "advisor to President George W. Bush".
