Description
This is a provocative deconstruction of the myths that cloud the emotive debates about working mothers. Jayne Buxton argues that by pitting so-called Earthmothers against the media-created Superwoman the real issues, that prevent women and families from combining work and kids are hijacked. The only real solution - if women are to work (and 75 per cent of them do) - is a fundamental shift in the whole culture of work. Taking concrete examples of companies and industries where family-friendly policies have been implemented, she outlines a vision and a blueprint for a future where families are not a sideshow to the main event of a career, but where a true balance is found which would benefit individual men and women, employers, businesses and children.
