women in senior White House positions retain their power if they duck out for a fraction of their 80-hour workweek to take care of family responsibilities?

In a culture that traditionally has no place for people with priorities other than the nation’s, several high-level female employees are struggling to keep up with the White House workplace ethic and not overlooking their families, the Los Angeles Times reported.

President Bush has brought an unprecedented number of working mothers into senior positions at the White House to serve in his administration, including:

  • Senior Bush Advisor Karen Hughes, mother of an eighth grade boy.
  • Mary Matalin, assistant to Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, is mother of two girls, ages 2 and 5.
  • Juleana Glover Wiess, press secretary to Cheney and mom to an 11-month-old and a 2-year-old.
  • Margaret LaMontagne, who runs Bush’s domestic policy office, has 8- and 11-yea-old daughters.
  • Lezlee Westine, deputy assistant to the president and directory of public liaison, is a single mother of an 8-year-old daughter.

The story reports that the moms have been assured they can have a personal life and a job with the Bush Administration. Even Bush himself appears to be attempting to attain a work-life balance, taking regular midday exercise breaks.
