"While
reading Joan Peters' book, I felt myself give an audible sigh of relief.
Finally, someone has created a manual for my life!
Peters has pieced together the myriad social, cultural and
financial realities that characterize the complex world in which women now
live. . . . This book is the collective wisdom of the best girlfriends
you'll ever have: I strongly
recommend it for anyone who is searching for the best life possible." —Ellen McGirt, President, CassandrasRevenge.com "A powerful and insightful look at who we are as women, where we come from, and how we can all use the lessons of our predecessors to our every advantage in life. I want to give a copy to every woman I know!" —Jennifer
Kushell, Director, Young Entrepreneurs Association "Need
ideas for having it all without sacrificing too much? Not
Your Mother's
Life is chock-full of useful personal anecdotes about more humane workplaces
and the women, men, and policies behind them. Peters makes you believe
that there's hope yet for the working mother." —Amy Richards
and Jennifer Baumgardner, authors of Manifesta:
Young Women, Feminism, and the Future "Smart, solid, sensible and stimulating" —Susan Estrich, Law professor, University of Southern California, author of Sex and Power. "We all know the
stories that tell how women can fail—most newspapers are only
too happy to document examples of working mothers not making it, going
crazy, or worse. How refreshing, then, to read these portraits of women integrating work, love and family on their own terms." —Ariel Gore, Founder, founding editor of Hip Mama and author of The Mother Trip and The Hip Mama Survival Guide Praise for When Mothers Work: "A smart, tough-minded approach to the balancing act of working
women: satisfying their children and themselves." —The New York Times "A passionate and convincing study of American parenting…
brilliant and radical." —The New York Times Book Review "A thought-provoking, tough-minded book." —Publishers Weekly "Smart, solid, sensible and stimulating" —Susan Estrich, Law professor, University of Southern California, author of Sex and Power.
