This is how We Do it The Working Mothers' Manifesto

Description

At last, a book that definitively answers the question “How does she do it?” — for both working mothers and the companies that employ them. At a time when books like Perfect Madness top bestseller lists and highly educated women discuss “opting out” because the challenges of “doing it all” feel insurmountable, it can seem that work and motherhood simply don’t mix. But for the millions of women who want — or need — to work, This Is How We Do It transcends the guilt, stress, and sacrifice so often tied to working motherhood. Featuring inspiring firsthand accounts from women who are “doing it all” and loving it, this book uncovers creative, real-world strategies for balancing career success and family life. Drawing on research from over 500 working mothers, the collective wisdom of Working Mother magazine’s three million readers, and 25 years of experience compiling the Working Mother 100 Best Companies list, Carol Evans presents a groundbreaking guide to achieving harmony between work and home. Essential reading for the 26 million moms in America who work, and for the employers who want to attract and retain them, This Is How We Do It offers the tools to help readers move from simply having a work life — to creating a life that truly works.
