Another round of that perennial question — “Can women have it all?” — was cranking into a full-throttled debate recently, just as Michelle Obama and Ann Romney submitted their entries for a cookie-recipe contest.
can't feel Annie in the kitchen apron and oven mitted up.
imagine this, Ann Romney playing second fiddle to our beloved First Lady, wonder how many expletives parted her lips?Others have been quicker to form an opinion. The “first mom, gardener thing” is “silly,” said Linda Hirshman, an author, lawyer and feminist. “I do admire the discipline and grit to see that this is the role that you have to play and play it. I could not do it.”Obama, who was an executive at the University of Chicago Medical Center when her husband first ran for president, has taken a different approach, sharing recipes on Pinterest, the online social network. And when Hilary Rosen, a Democratic lobbyist and pundit, said stay-at-home mom Romney had never worked a day in her life, the first lady tweeted: “Every mother works hard, and every woman deserves to be respected.” Rosen apologized.
