Synopsis

Here, in what one of the contributors felicitously calls 'a mentoring book,' sixteen professional women write as generational role models about the hard choices and real problems that surface throughout the life cycle. Because 'the economics of choice are not just monetary, but spiritual and psychological as well,' professionals at all stages of life will welcome this support from the thinking women's trenches as they contemplate and actualize career and relationship decisions.

About this title

From the Author:

A lively human analysis of the work/family interface
This book is written to be a paper mentor, accessible to all women for whom job is "career"--an essential ingredient that takes up space in all waking life, much as relationships are emotionally tracked throughout the work day. It is a book about informed choice across the life cycle, written by women professionals who have been there. The chapters mix academic review, personal anecdote and clinical vignette to give a complex view of the realities and choices of each phase as well as the skill sets that are essential to medicine, law, business, the helping professions and academia. The book is about how to find meaning and pleasure in the combination of career and family--at least in your saner moments.
