Women Talk About Balancing Work And Family
How do women make choices around work and family? How do they deal with the competing demands of raising children and pursuing a fulfilling career? What are the positives and negatives of taking on such a juggling act?
This book looks at fourteen women who are attempting, in different ways, to find a balance between family responsibilities and work. They describe the joys, the pitfalls and the challenges of life as a working mother with humour, warmth and honesty and, in doing so, reveal the motivations and aspirations of a generation of women who are redefining what it means to be a mother.
Whether they work out of choice or financial necessity, whether they have a supportive partner or struggle as a single parent, these women all share the overwhelming desire to find some level of equilibrium in their lives, and to do their best for their families and for themselves.
