AWEWWE depicts a shining Silicon Valley suburb replete with country club appearances and pool boys. In the grand tradition of the suburban novel, though, beneath the surface of all that material excess lurks despair, accidental pregnancy and general malaise. It's sort of like a modern day, West Coast version of the Ice Storm, but instead of key parties there's…meth. We talked with Janelle, a former staffer at Wired and Salon about her darkly funny book, Maxi, the feminist ‘zine she used to run in the 90s, and the uneasy intersection between art and commerce.

Do you think having children hurts a man's career or prospects in the job market helps, hurts, or doesn't make a difference?" These are just some of the questions in the Ask a Working Woman Survey 2008, created by the The AFL-CIO and Working America. One of the first questions — in which you are asked to add up the number of hours a week you spend talking to your partner or spouse, the number of hours you spend talking to friends, the number of hours you spend talking to your parents and finally the number of hours you spend talking to your boss or coworkers — was kind of depressing. But the rest was fun. [Ask a Working Woman Survey 2008 via Feminist Law Professors] More »

For many women of Generation X, Sassy magazine served the same function that "Sex And The City" did for Generation Y; that is, inspiring them to move to New York and work in publishing. (Fortunately, Sassy magazine did not also promote Brazilian waxes, $600 stilettos and total self-absorption). For other women, the magazine simply helped to get them through their adolescence. Anna fits into both categories, and so she sat down for an email interview with Marisa Meltzer and Kara Jesella, the authors of the new book How Sassy Changed My Life: A Love Letter To The Greatest Teen Magazine Of All Time.
