Because we're worth it : a 'where to from here' for today's working mother / Gill South.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 237-240).Every day women make decisions about whether to be home full-time for their families or to go out - or set up at home - to work. For many couples, it is essential that both contribute to the household income, but for working mothers the situation is by no means ideal. With still-negligible help with childcare costs from the government, it can seem crazy to work when you are barely breaking even. But there is a strong argument for hanging in there and continuing your career after children or retraining and starting something new. Because We're Worth It openly discusses the challenges of being a working mother, giving the faint-at-heart some reinforcement when they need it most and the tools to make it better for all.
