========================================================= Important Subscriber Information:I was "maternally profiled" in a previous museum(-like) job—an internal promotion was not offered to me (nor was I even told that I was being considered for the opportunity) solely because I had young children at the time. I wouldn't have even known about the discrimination had it not been explained to me very carefully that another person, a male with older children, was being offered the job "because your family still needs you." They thought that by explaining it, it would forestall my having a fit about this other person being advanced ahead of me; instead, it created for me a shadow of resentment that colored the rest of my time there, and they are lucky I didn't pursue legal action.

Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] Maternity Leave Policy Question
I encourage you to think about maternal profiling and discrimination when drafting a policy. Options you and other employees may feel blessed to have included in your policy could be flex time, being able to work part-time at home, and other benifits that support being a working mother. The information below highlights some of the key issues and research with includes an outstounding finding that mothers are 79% less likely to be hired than non-mothers with equal resumes and job experiences (see below). Congratulations on your pregnancy and being a pioneer working mother director for your institution.
