Description
Never before have so many women and mothers had the opportunity or necessity of engaging in employment outside the home while still having to care for those within it. This book argues that women face more difficulties within each role than conflicts between them. It contends indeed that this process of "juggling" can have beneficial effects on career performance and domestic well-being.

Description
Wondering if they ought to juggle family and work in the ways they do, women often fall into the trap of self-blame. Psychologist, Faye J. Crosby, argues that the most critical difficulties are not, as they generally suppose, conflicts between life roles, but unfairnesses within each one. The surprising reality is that the admittedly hard effort to juggle demonstrably benefits women and their families. Crosby offers hop to those who seek to minimize the strain of role-combination without sacrificing the advantages.
