Ms. Venker fearlessly tackles the most contentious issues of working motherhood: womenâs equality, family economics, the notion of "quality time," womenâs guilt and stress, and daycare. In each chapter, she exposes a different myth about working mothers, drawing on extensive research and her own experience as a mother and a teacher. The result is a powerful case for the link between the problems of todayâs children and the absence of mothers from the home.
"If motherhood were viewed as the full-time job it is," Ms. Venker contends, "it would not be considered something we could do on the side, and women would be less inclined to try to balance career and motherhood, only to discover, many stress-filled years later, that it cannot be done." 7 Myths of Working Mothers is a bold call to shift our priorities from the feverish pursuit of professional success to the more satisfying nurturing of our children.
Dr. Laura praises 7 Myths of Working Mothers: "I am grateful for this book. Ms. Venkerâs contribution to humanity, to families, to marriages, to women is huge. In a way, it is sad that sheâs got to argue points to prove what ought to be a "given". On the other hand her arguments are beautifully crafted, and right on target for todayâs anti-childrearing atmosphere. My hope for you, the reader, is that after you read this book, you will be unwavering in your commitment to do the right thing, and reap the incredible rewards."
