Books like Opting Out? by Pamela Stone

Name: Opting Out?
Rating: 3 (1 reviews)
Author: Pamela Stone

"With insight and compassion, Pamela Stone shows convincingly that, far from representing a return to tradition, the decision of some women to relinquish high-powered careers is a reluctant and conflict-ridden response to the growing mismatch between privatized families and time-demanding jobs. By charting the institutional obstacles and cultural pressures that continue to leave even the most advantaged women facing impossible options, "Opting Out?" gets beneath the hype and offers the real story behind the misleading headlines.
