Michele Kremen Bolton
The Third Shift
Managing Hard Choices in Our Careers, Homes, and Lives as Women
Jossey-Bass, 2000
What's inside?
The doubts that plague women in the middle of the night, when work is over and the kids are asleep, are the haunting, negative voices of the third shift.
Recommendation
Michele Kremen Bolton has achieved what so many other authors of books about women have not - she’s written elegantly, compellingly and sensibly about the dilemmas women face when they choose to work outside the home, run their own businesses or forgo outside work to raise a family. Most importantly, Bolton provides a thorough, intelligent discussion based on solid research and real-life situations. She makes viable suggestions for solutions to many of the dilemmas and challenges that women confront. She shows a keen understanding of what women are really thinking when confronted by guilt, self-doubt and the need to adapt continually to what is still a patriarchal society. getabstract recommends this book not only to women, but to that other half of the population as well. It’s a sure antidote to testosterone poisoning.
