New BBC series requires full-time working mothers

BBC Television is making a major three-part series called WOMEN about contemporary women's lives. The series will look at the impact of feminism on contemporary family life.

The first episode will provide the background and will map the ideology of women's liberation in the 1960s and 1970s, and evoke the urgency and passion of the early days of the movement.

The second and third episodes will be an audit of the impact of feminism on contemporary family life, and document the professional and domestic lives of women in Britain today. They will aim to assess how the reality of women’s lives compares with the hopes and predictions of forty years ago, and what the consequences of feminism have been for women, as well as for men.

Although at the moment the series is in the early stages of research, Assistant Producer Becky Lomax is looking for full-time working mothers to contribute to the series.

Within her research Becky is aiming to discover:
• How do you juggle the competing demands of work and home?
• How big a burden of responsibility do you shoulder at work and at home?
• Who does the childcare in your house?
• How involved is your husband or partner with the children?
• Are there conflicts or frustrations in your household around who takes domestic responsibility?

If you would be interested in participating in the series or to find out more information please contact Becky Lomax by email at becky.lomax@bbc.co.uk

Welcome to Mums in Science

This site has been designed as a portal for busy mums who work or have worked in science.

Too many women leave science due to the constraints of motherhood. Some struggle, and work part time, at the expense of advancing their career. Others change their career to fit in with their children, whilst working within some area of science.

Our aims are :-

  • to create a community to provide mutual support,
  • to provide information to those who have the challenge of bringing up children and maintaining a career in science, whether full or part time, or outside mainstream science.

This site is updated regularly with new articles and occasional special offers. Everything is accessible on the site. However, if you would like to receive notices of new additions to the site you can subscribe to the site and receive e-mails as soon as a new article is posted to your selected categories or to all the site.

We welcome comments about MumsinScience, what you like, what you don't like, or how we can improve.

PLEASE LET US KNOW, just email comments@mumsinscience.net
