Description
‘I realised that as much as I loved having children I couldn’t bear not to have some voice of my own. I couldn’t bear to become invisible.’
‘l can’t be a mother and do something else. I’m not prepared to leave my children to go and pursue my own thing.’
‘Being a mother is a real threat to your career – to your self development and to your progress.’
Twelve women aged between 94 and 32 years old speak intimately and honestly in this book about what it is like to combine family and career.
Speaking to parents, those about to become parents and those still trying to decide whether parenthood is for them, Striking a Balance looks at the unique pressures facing women making critical decisions about combining children and a career.
