Description

Arguing that women should work outside the home in order to have equality and that men need to take up more of the child care burden, the author uses the stories of 12 model families and discussions with psychologists to examine the ways in which middle-class American families can create a child friendly environment in two-earner households. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
