From Publishers Weekly "Images of working mothers as not committed to their careers, or better suited to being home, or grasping for more than they deserve, often form the basis for how their work is evaluated. Seeing through these images is the first step in taking control of your experience as a working mother," advise Weisberg and Buckler, each one both a lawyer and a mother. Their realistic assessment of the obstacles often presented to working mothers, whether at home ("husbands act as if they have traditional wives . . . even if they don't") or at the workplace, will be helpful to anyone plotting the considerable life changes posed by parenting to the professional. Their book is detailed, logical and persistent in counseling constructive strategies for offsetting the resistance of some supervisors, clients and colleagues to motherhood; in negotiating for leaves and benefits; in dealing with changes brought upon marriage by a new baby; in contemplating child care options; and--even--in leaving work for good, or trading the office for self-employment in the home. Stories of how particular women have coped bring the volume down to earth, and the authors' legal expertise stands them--and their readers--in good stead. 50,000 first printing; author tour. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist This guidebook to the world of the working mother deals with such essential issues as finding a caregiver, negotiating work hours, and adjusting to the roles of both new mother and working mother. Weisberg and Buckler, who are both lawyers and mothers, argue that working mothers are on the cutting edge, a "revolutionary force." They quote popular mainstream authors such as T. Berry Brazelton to support their viewpoint. And yet their assumption that leaving one's child all day long is not only harmless to the child, but actually beneficial, has been seriously questioned in a number of studies. Their attempt to prove that working moms spend as much time with their kids as moms at home do sounds almost desperate. In other words, Everything is at its best--which is very good indeed--when it sticks to the real problems that working mothers encounter. It should prove extremely useful to the many mothers now employed outside their homes. Jo Peer-Haas --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
