A Mother's Place: Choosing Work and Family Without Guilt or Blame Paperback - 1998
by Susan Chira
In this "passionate defense of working mothers" ("Parenting"), a leading "New York Times" journalist documents and debunks society's backlash against working mothers to present a new vision of motherhood.
First line
Small wonder that I felt besieged before and after I became a work mother.
From the rear cover
Mothers today are under siege. Society belittles mothers at home while telling mothers at work they are blighting their children's lives. Susan Chira, a veteran New York Times journalist, separates myth from reality, showing how the media, the courts, and politicians have conducted a backlash against working mothers that hurts all women. Here, she reviews the latest scientific research and shows, contrary to popular belief, that children of working mothers turn out just as well as those raised by stay-at-home mothers. But instead of telling mothers where their place should be, Chira wants to reframe this distorted debate and help mothers get where they want to be, whether at home or at work.
