Top 25 Women of Influence 2017: Catherine Reitman

Catherine Reitman

Creator, producer, writer, and star of CBC’s Workin’ Moms

Already an accomplished actor with myriad roles to her credit, Catherine Reitman is on our list on account of her latest project: bringing a daringly honest story of working mothers to network television. Inspired by her own experience, Catherine is the creator, executive producer, writer, and star of Workin’ Moms, which had its first season run between January and April on CBC. Highlighting the lives of four Toronto women juggling careers, motherhood, and relationships, it is as raw as it is funny — and no subject is off limits. By showcasing moms with work ambitions and a need for self-identity, Catherine is bringing a welcome fresh perspective to the usual TV mom narrative.
