What's going on with all these photos? The one just added to the article isn't a particuarly good image. Having met Ms Ehrenreich once, I would say the Birnbaum photo is the best likeness. Why can't we use that? -- Viajero 10:38, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Her bridge from scientist to politics

Staffer at The Budget Office of The City of New York; recruited as Member of Health Policy Advisory Center (Health/PAC), co-editing The American Health Empire

Barbara Ehrenreich was Deputy Director of The Budget Office of The City of New York and then A Member of Health Policy Advisory Center (Health/PAC), with whom she co-edited The American Health Empire. This was considered her bridge experience from research scientist to politically active journalist and organizer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Red Dogg (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Hillbilly->Jewish?

I've read "Nickle and Dimed", and I remember her mentioning how she went to a church service in one town, where she commented that the hillbilly-like townspeople reminded her of her own people (her maiden name being Alexander). Now, she's Jewish, according to the list of Jewish journalists? Did someone just make an assumption about her married last name?

Probably. She was listed on the list but I moved her to discussion because I couldn't find a source. So - looks like you solved the mystery. Mad Jack 22:00, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I've made a note on the list discussion page for her removal from the list that needs to be verified, since she isn't. Michael 22:31, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

Article appears to be compromised by removal of large portions of material by an anon IP add 68.... See history. This IP address user or these users appear to be attacking other articles (e.g., Alan Dershowitz. --NYScholar 19:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Liberal or Socialist?

Pick one please! They are two different things. --69.143.105.237 (talk) 03:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Atheism

Ehrenreich is in the category 'American atheists', but nothing is mentioned in the article. Is there a source on this? --Karuna8 (talk) 23:16, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Nothing? Well, I removed it. Put it back if you have a source. --Karuna8 (talk) 02:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
