- Description
- Many women today are breadwinners: and these breadwinners are struggling. They are caught in a perfect storm of male-dominated culture at work, traditional social norms at home, and outdated schedules in the schools. This book takes a look at how women are balancing home life and career. The pressures of child rearing, coupled with an unfulfilling corporate culture, are too great to be ignored. O’Donnell goes beyond statistics and tells the stories of women all across America who are juggling careers, motherhood, marriage, and households. She looks at the choices women are making, the options they have, and the impact these decisions have on themselves, their families, and the businesses that employ them.
