Susan Chira, New York Times deputy foreign editor, has written extensively on family issues. She lives in New York City with her husband and two children.
"Splendid....Chira makes an eloquent, well-documented case that motherhood does not require martyrdom and self-obliteration; that motherhood and outside work are not only compatible but also beneficial to mothers and children....I wholeheartendly recommend it to politicians, pediatricians, fathers and especially working mothers who feel buffeted by incessant criticism."--Carole Tavris in The New York Times Book Review"Important and well-reasoned book...A solid, measured account of how current thinking about mothers who work is punitive to them and to their children as well. Working mothers could not ask for a better companion."--New York Times"A hand-holder for all those mothers who see themselves laveled as selfish and uncaring because they choose to bring home a paycheck."--Kirkus"Forcefully argued, well-documented book."--Publishers Weekly"A controversial book. You cannot read it without thinking. And thinking. At the very least, Chira has done something heroic by really analyzing the issue. Exhaustive research, a ton of experts, and dozens of mothers expand her discussion."--The San Diego Union Tribune"A passionate defense of working mothers....[Chira ] takes aim at parenting books, newspaper reports, and child-carestudies that she believes are part of a backlash against mothers who work." --Parenting
