Get to Work : And Get a Life, Before It's Too Late

Does changing a toddler ’s diapers count as a fulfilling job? Is the glass ceiling that keeps women from advancing in their careers actually located in the home? In Get to Work, a book that instantly ignited a firestorm of debate, Hirshman cogently argues that opting out” of the workplace is a form of self-betrayal. Combining a hard-hitting critique of traditional feminism with practical advice to help stay-at-home moms find satisfying, well-paying work, this book will be as era-defining as The Feminine Mystique.

Linda R. Hirshman is retired from her position as the Allen/Berenson Distinguished Visiting Professor of Women-'s Philosophy and Women-'s Studies at Brandeis University. She has appeared on 60 Minutes, Good Morning America, and The Colbert Report and is the author of Hard Bargains: The Politics of Sex and A Woman-'s Guide to Law School.
