Almost 50 alumnae gathered at 7:45 a.m. on April 19 at the Columbia Club in New York City for a Columbia College Women networking breakfast and talk. The guest speaker was New York Times writer and Princeton alumna Lisa Belkin, who writes the Times’ biweekly “Life’s Work” column. Belkin spoke from personal experience about the challenges of balancing career and family, even joking that in order to do so one must attend career-enhancing events that begin at 7:45 a.m. Belkin, a wife and mother of two, wrote a groundbreaking Times article in 2003, “The Opt-Out Revolution,” about women who eventually reject the workplace and its demands in favor of family life, despite years working toward that aim. She is the author of numerous books, including Life’s Work: Confessions of an Unbalanced Mom (2003), Show Me a Hero (2000) and First, Do No Harm (1994).
