Summary

"This moving and convincing treatise explores the new-century collision between work and mothering. How does the corporate climate in America force women to claim either a career or a family at any given time? And are the choices women make - to either adjust their careers, "carousel" in and out of the workplace, or quit altogether - really choices at all?"--BOOK JACKET.
