Excel at Your Job, be Home for Dinner
How many women embrace ambition in their work, have a family - and feel good about it too?
Learn how to be a maverick! Drawing on a broad range of government data, social science research and original interviews, Getting to 50/50 offers insight into how women can pursue their dreams as boldly as men do. And know that families thrive not in spite of working mothers but because of them, that guilt is not a necessity, and that men are equally able to take care of kids - when given the chance. How do you do it? Be a maverick, let go and give your partner half the votes at home.
Sharon Meers, co-author of Getting to 50/50, will share what she learned - that a fact-based, co-ed and fun way of looking at these issues can help. So more women see the power they have to lead life to the fullest.
