Relegating the all or nothing, mommy-wars mentality to the 20th century, this title offers a fresh take on the largely hidden power that women have in the marketplace. It also shows women how to take advantage of this historical moment by crafting high-octane careers that don't require all-or-nothing lifestyles.

Finally, here is a book that gets to the heart of what professional women want. Like most of us, you've had enough of the sixty-hour workweeks, the day-care dash, and the vacations that never get taken. You want to work, but on your own terms and in ways that make it possible to have a life as well.

In Womenomics, journalists Shipman and Kay provide a fresh perspective on the largely hidden power that women have in today's marketplace. Inspiring, practical, and persuasive, Womenomics offers a groundbreaking blueprint for changing the way you live and work—with advice, guidance, and fact-based support that show how you don't have to do it all to have it all.

Relegating the all or nothing, mommy-wars mentality to the 20th century, "Womenomics" offers a revolutionary new take on the largely hidden power that women have in the marketplace. Why now? Simple market forces. Companies with more women managers are more profitable, so women are topping every company's most wanted list these days just as a labor shortage is looming. At the same time, the workforce at large is demanding to work in new ways. But "Womenomics" is more than a marshalling of extraordinary evidence. It also shows women how to take advantage of this historical moment by crafting high-octane careers that don't require all-or-nothing lifestyles. Most appealing, though, are the refreshingly candid anecdotes from Shipman's and Kay's lives. They also share the stories of other professional women struggling with the same issues - women who've taken counterintuitive steps in their careers but who've carved out rewarding work-life scenarios. More than anything, the message of the book empowers and inspires.
