Over the past several decades, women have made gains throughout executive suites. Yet these Power Moms still struggle with balancing their management responsibilities with raising children. Joann S. Lublin draws on the experiences of the nations two generations of these successful women to measure how far weve comeand how far we still need to go.Lublin combines her own insights with those of eightyfive executive mothers across industriesincluding experienced publiccompany chiefs such as Carol Bartz, the first woman to command Autodesk and Yahoo; Hersheys Michele Buck, DuPonts Ellen Kullman, ITTs Denise Ramos, and WW Internationals Mindy Grossmanand twentyfive of their grown daughters. Lublin reveals how trailblazer boomers, many now in their sixties, often endured sweeping disapproval for their demanding management careers, even as their own daughters sometimes rejected their choices. While the second wave of executive mothersall under fortyfivehandle working parenthood with less angst, they still lead stressful lives.Power Moms provides lessons and advice to help todays professional women, their families, and their employers navigate this challenging terrain. Lublin looks at the tradeoffs mothers are too often forced to make between work and family and the root causes, including the dearth of largescale paid parental leave and other familyfriendly policies. While it celebrates the gains women have made, Power Moms makes clear how much more must be done to make being a working mother easier.
