Anchors mentioned previously and the reason for that is that the children are at home and. They have to figure out a way to somehow combine work and family and somehow its the come and tell of will because theyre also supervising the education of children who cant go to school or you know or to Child Care Centers which remain closed so it is truly a very horrible problem and there was a story in the New York Times that said its probably will impact on the next generation of women and it may be permanent the displacement just so many women from the labor force which undercuts the progress that was made before he and what was the progress beforehand where were where was Women Entrepreneurship where was womens role in the workplace globally if you can speak broadly before the pandemic.

So ok with me. Starts october 15th and g. W. American poet louise glick is this years nobel prize laureate for literature the decision by the Swedish Academy surprise not just the world but also the author herself. There she is back in 2016 with president barack obama because apparently pleasant we shocked when she received an Early Morning call from stockholm with the news the Nobel Committee said they chose her for her quote unstable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal with. And for more about the nobel prize in literature im joined by my colleague mike a crew guy mike how big of a surprise is this was no one had her on the list but this was the case in the recent years that somebody once no one expected to win so the surprise has become the rule right as you might say but after the announcement we were old searching for photos of her. And that and that manny shes not really famous but is not a nobody its just obvious that poetry has not the weight that novelists do maybe. Its also may be a safe choice and just because after all the criticism in the last year we all expected a female writer right now most authors male or female can only dream about getting back Early Morning call from
