PUBLISHER Penguin Books (06/01/2007)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description
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.
