Momazonians, Glossier Play, Work Wives: Broadsheet March 5

The Royal Family hits the block button on sexist comments, Amazon employees campaign for backup childcare, and we examine what it means to have a “work wife.” Have a terrific Tuesday. Do you have a “work wife?” If not, maybe you should.This morning, Fortune published an excerpt from Work Wife: The Power of Female Friendship to Drive Successful Businesses, a new book from Erica Cerulo and Claire Mazur, the co-founders behind Of a Kind, an e-commerce startup that was acquired by Bed, Bath & Beyond in 2015.In it, the pair talk about navigating the challenges that arise when you go into business with one of your best friends. We were in this together, even if ‘this’ ceased to exist.”The pair also note that female co-founders or other women who band together to help each other succeed at work are helping break down outdated stereotypes about “mean girls” and catty female co-workers who live to stab each other in the back.Ultimately, they conclude: “‘Work wife,’ a term spawned from ‘office wife’— which itself dates back to the 1930s, when it was used by men to describe an especially high-functioning secretary—has more recently been co-opted to describe a combination of personal and professional bondedness and healthy, supportive closeness among women. It’s a dynamic that requires an in-this-together attitude and approach that’s viable in any business setting with right-minded people, and in our experience, it’s a game-changing one.”Readers, do you have a work wife—or maybe even work wives?
