New life behind bars

Article Abstract:

The mother and baby unit operated by Askham Grange open prison near York, England, offers a safe environment for women who have often experienced very harsh conditions outside prison. The prison's managers believe very firmly that mothers and children should be kept together, and place considerable emphasis on helping to prepare mothers for a stable life after they are released from prison. The UK Prison Service also recognises that women prisoners are less likely to reoffend if they can keep their families together.

Wonderbras in the workplace

Article Abstract:

Women tend to work more collaboratively than men, being prepared to acknowledge when colleagues have been responsible for a success, for example. In contrast, men generally fight for their personal career progression, and do not usually consider the feelings of others. Men operate to hierarchical, militaristic structures, while women model their working lives more on family life.
