Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Who is the real audience for this book? Attacking the "Mommy Track" theory that working women must sacrifice their families for their careers, it features interviews with such high-powered women as Debbie Fields of Mrs. Field's Cookies, former Doubleday publisher Nancy Evans, and Congresswoman Barbara Boxer, all of whom earn over $100,000 a year and have managed to "have it all": career, marriage, family. The authors explore their personalities, influences, obstacles, strategies for success and for coping with guilt. But will library patrons who don't make $100,000 find comfort in the fact that Sandra Day O'Connor often did not have time to replace her sons' worn sneakers, or frustration in not being able to afford Barbara Boxer's quality time, an annual Christmas vacation in Hawaii? An interesting book, but not an essential purchase for most libraries.

Why this book SHOULD be in Nassau Community College Library!,
By
This review is from: Answers to the Mommy Track: How Wives & Mothers in Business Reach the Top and Balance Their Lives (Paperback)
Answers is a book about female leadership role models, the challenges they faced and overcame en route to their position of respect in American life. Who IS the audience for this book? The audience includes any young girl or woman who has scanned bookshelves everywhere searching for exemplary women who resisted the social biases of school marms, sorority sisters, AND librarians trying to protect aspiring females from the challenges of personal achievement. Ferguson and Dunphy are demonstrating to women HOW TO praise, admire, respect and honor OTHER women of achievement. Until women are willing to praise great women, to learn from the successful and accomplished women, we will not be able to "see further... by standing on the shoulders of giants." Buy this book and put it in your daughter's library, today!
