…will provoke invigorating discussion for sure… (The Seattle Times)Does changing a toddler ’s diapers count as a fulfilling job? Is the glass ceiling that keeps women from advancing in their careers actually located in the home? In Get to Work, a book that instantly ignited a firestorm of debate, Hirshman cogently argues that “opting out” of the workplace is a form of self-betrayal. Combining a hard-hitting critique of traditional feminism with practical advice to help stay-at-home moms find satisfying, well-paying work, this book will be as era-defining as The Feminine Mystique. One of the most outspoken voices in the . . . women’s movement . . . sifts through the confusing spectrum of arguments over women’s roles with a clarity and conviction harking back to Betty Friedan. (Los Angeles Times Book Review) This is a women’s book-club offering if there ever was one. (The Seattle Times) |
