Reinventing Ourselves After Motherhood: How Former Career Women Refocus Their Personal and Professional ReviewWhen I walked away from a prestigious, well paid career a decade ago, I knew it was merely in order to take a "sabbatical." With two young children, I feared I might lack the stamina to launch into a new position in the investment industry, where I'd spent the prior 17 years. When they were in school all day . . . that would be the time to jump in again . . . Skip to 1999. I've not yet jumped back in, but I've learned a tremendous amount about paid work vs. volunteer work and how a frantic pace compares with a busy, but manageable, workaday stride. I've learned that there are still pointless and destructive preconceptions on both sides of the working/non-working mother issue. Though I felt somewhat unique during the early years of this transition, I apparently had plenty of company. Susan Lewis, author of "Reinventing Ourselves after Motherhood" was obviously sharing my experience. She, however, took the time to write a wonderful book about all of us who grew up post-feminist revolution and tremendously conflicted about work/family choices. Through her own often amusing and always insightful anecdotes, and through her gleanings from scores of interviews with mothers of all ages, she has come up with a highly readable narrative. Unlike so many others who've written on the topic, however, Lewis succeeds in evenhandedness. She knows the path she's taken is probably best for her, but doesn't insist that everyone else should be tagging along. This book should be of interest to a wide range of readers, including both mothers at home and mothers at work. (A few enlightened fathers might even be induced to have a look!) It might be most valuable to young women who know these life-altering choices lie just ahead. A satisfying read.Reinventing Ourselves After Motherhood: How Former Career Women Refocus Their Personal and Professional Overview
