Piece Description

Helen Boosalis is a pioneer and a leading light in the history of American politics. She was the first woman elected as mayor of a city with a population over 100,000 (Lincoln Nebraska) and when she ran for Governor in 1986, it was the first time in U.S. history that two women competed for the top office in a state. Her achievements go way beyond just breaking the gender barrier, however, and they are described in a biography written by her own daughter, Beth Boosalis Davis: "Mayor Helen Boosalis: My Mother's Life in Politics". The mayor and her biographer join host Mike Cuthbert. Then...No longer just a cubicle-inspired dream, working from home is now not only a realistic career choice, but in today's tough economic times, it may be the only option for some. So how does that work? Tory Johnson and Robyn Freedman Spizman have compiled a host of ideas and answers in their book Will Work Form Home. Tory joins us to discuss how to find such jobs and how to be successful in them.
