The Motherhood Manifesto

What America's Moms Want--And What to Do About It

Joan Blades and Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner
February 2006     ISBN: 1560258845



The Motherhood Manifesto calls for a transformation in American attitude towards working mothers. Across public and private sectors, radical change is needed to make parenting and the workplace compatible.
