Publisher's Summary

Every working mother's path is unique and should be celebrated, not lamented. Yet all too frequently, working mothers are presented with advice, rules to follow, or guidelines as if all women's experiences are the same and a one-size-fits-all solution is appropriate.

Maternal Optimism: Forging Positive Paths Through Work and Motherhood aims to provide listeners with stories and research that support the notion of women owning and feeling confident in the choices they make as they navigate a complex series of work and family transitions. This book challenges the impulse to reduce work/life challenges to a single point in time, such as the decision to return to work after the birth of a child; instead, it recognizes that work and family decisions are anything but stagnant. They shift as life and career shift and are often filled with unpredictable events.

By understanding and anticipating these shifts, working mothers can develop the resiliency they need at home and at work. This book is a resource for all professional women as they approach the difficulties and the joys of growing a family and a career.

Lots of take aways from this well crafted book.

This can be an excellent read for Expecting, New mothers and working mothers who have to sustain lot of emotional pressures from the society at large for their choice of being a working mother.
