Working Mother magazine is a magazine for working mothers launched in 1978[1] by Carol Evans.[2] The founding editor of the magazine was Vivian Cadden, who retired as editor in 1990.[3] Subsequent editors have included Judsen Culbreth,[4] Suzanne Riss[5] and Jennifer Owens.[6] In December 2016, Meredith Bodgas was named editor-in-chief.[7]
History[]
Working Mother was launched by McCall Publishing Co. in 1979.[8][9] Since 1985, Working Mother has compiled a list of the 100 Best Companies for working mothers based on a survey.[10] In 1986, Working Mother and Working Woman, its sister publication, were sold to Time Inc. and Lang Communications.[11]
In 1996, Lang Communications sold Working Mother, along with Ms. and Working Woman, to MacDonald Communications.[12] The following year, MacDonald Communications reduced the frequency of Working Mother and Working Woman to 10 editions per year.[13]
Working Mother Media[]
In August 2001, MacDonald Communications underwent restructuring and created Working Mother Media (WMM), which was composed of Working Mother and Working Woman.[14] It was announced that Carol Evans would return to manage the new company.[14] In a statement, Evans announced that Working Woman would fold after its 25th anniversary edition in September 2001.
In December 2006, Working Mother Media acquired Diversity Best Practices, a corporate membership organization.[15] In September 2008, Bonnier Corp announced it was acquiring Working Mother Media.[16] In 2010, the Working Mother Research Institute was founded by Jennifer Owens and made part of WMM.[17]
In 2014, the magazine named Meghan Stabler one of its Working Mothers of the Year, making her the first openly transgender woman to receive that honor.[18] That same year, the magazine reduced the number of issues it produced from eight to four.[19] Carol Evans left Working Mother in 2015 to start Carol Evans Enterprises.[20] She was succeeded by Subha V. Barry.[1] In December 2016, Meredith Bodgas was named editor-in-chief of Working Mother.[7]
In 2018, Working Mother released its first Best Companies for Dads list.[21]
