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.

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.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Nancy Kaltreider was one of only four women in Harvard Medical School's Class of 1964. She is no stranger to the "Dilemmas of a Double Life", to the challenges of balancing competing priorities in order to engage in the love AND the work that Freud defined as essential for fulfilment. But Freud was referring to men, of course, in advance of the gender role expansion whereby women's traditional imperatives have been unprecedentedly elasticized: not until our time have women enjoyed so much access to education and opportunity in the first half of life and so many options for reinventing themselves in the second half. Because "the economics of choice are not just momentary, but spiritual and psychological as well", professionals at all stages of life will welcome support from the thinking women's trenches as they contemplate and actualize career and relationship decisions. Here, in what one of the contributors felicitously calls "a mentoring book", 16 professional women write as generational role models about the hard choices and real problems that surface througout the life cycle.Among their subjects are early career issues ("Let the Juggling Begin"); dual-career relationships, part-time work, career and parenting; pregnancy and the professional woman, risks and rewards of delayed childbearing, constructing a feminine identity without motherhood; dealing with discrimination and harassment; and developing negotiating, entrepreneurial and senior management skills. Features sixteen professional women who 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, this work is suitable for professionals at various stages of life.
