Two words sum up the life circumstances of every mother who also holds down a paying job:
“She works.”
So it was logical that two Winnetka women who organized a social group for working mothers chose that phrase as the name of their organization, “SheWorks.” It is celebrating its one-year anniversary this fall.
In fact, the two women, Betsy Fitzgerald and Nancy Hannon, met each other when they each observed the other woman doing what working moms typically do — sitting in the bleachers watching their sons play baseball while balancing Blackberries on their laps to get some work done.
