Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, daughter of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, has been job-hunting in Boston without much luck so far.
She says, as a new attorney looking for work she has been discouraged by attitudes toward women working and raising a family at the same time. 'One firm said law had to be my No. 1 commitment, and I think family and children have to be the most important thing,' she said. Mrs. Townsend, who lives in suburban Newton with her husband, David, and their two young children, was among the 291 people to pass this year's Massachusetts bar exam. She said she hopes to find a law firm more supportive of her views about career and family.
