A Quick Shout-Out to Oak Parker Jill Salzman

Just a quick shout out to Oak Parker Jill Salzman, who recently authored a blog post for the New York Times.

Contributing to the paper's Motherlode blog, Salzman fends off criticism of the "mompreneur" title, which she's proudly earned through the creation of her business, The Founding Moms — and, of course, the creation of her kids.

Apparently, the dustup started when a writer on The Grindstone said the moniker "marginalizes" working women. Here's the post, "I Hate 'Mompreneurs' But I Support Women in Business"

Salzman's not buying it, for a number of reasons. Check out the rest of her Motherlode post to find out why.

Here, I'd like to point out that before Salzman's brush with the Gray Lady, she was a member of our short-lived Patch . (Yes, we take every last ounce of credit for catapulting her into national blogging fame.)

The Mom's Council feature, by the way, sort of languished (my fault, not theirs). But if any moms out there — mompreneurs or otherwise — want to resurrect it, get in touch.
