Description
Book Synopsis
Now a classic, a groundbreaking manifesto calling into the question the idea of "choice feminism" 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.Review Quotes

" (Los Angeles Times Book Review) "This is a womenÆs book-club offering if there ever was one." (The Seattle Times)
