Getting to 50/50: How working parents can have it all (Paperback)

Too many women think they have to give up the career they love to have a happy family. Getting to 50/50 shows them how to negotiate with bosses and husbands so that everybody wins-including the kids. Highly recommended * Linda Babcock, coauthor of Women Don't Ask and Ask for It *
A tremendously refreshing and insightful read for parents who want to meet their career aspirations and raise balanced, happy children * Alexandria Albers, Managing Director, Morgan Stanley *
Anyone who wants to combine children and careers should read this book * Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and author of the bestselling Lean In *
When I lived in New York I was introduced to Sharon Meers, a firecracking feminist and former Goldman Sachs Managing Director who co-authored a brilliantly clear-eyed book Getting to 50/50 about the simple necessity of splitting the parenting of children 50/50 if women are going to be able to fully engage with their careers after having kids and if men are going to fully engage with being parents. The book comes out in paperback this September and frankly is so full of smart, practical, honest advice and juicy little insights into contemporary marriage that I'm buying another copy for my girlfriend * Redonline *
