Summary: All Moms Work begins with a question to all moms. ???Should you stay home???? Even though the book reflects the situation in the West, particularly in the U.S.A, the question could very well arise in the minds of women in developing countries where rapid urbanization is changing lifestyles that call for double incomes to keep pace with them.The phrase ???career moms??? evokes images of harried moms and dads rushing to work, dirty day care centres, latchkey children and more, particularly in the 1980s in the west. Enough to put off any traditional homemaker and baby boomer, but cities today have many opportunities to offer. The author tells her story on career moms with a zest that is infectious born out of a study of career moms in many countries. With the amazing advances in technology, commuting to workplaces has given way to other options???working from home, rescheduling working hours and so on. Career strategies are discussed at length and in detail keeping in mind the role of the mother in the family. About The Author: Sharon Reed Abboud is a stay-at-home mom, career-planning expert, and writer specialising in career issues.
