Maternal Optimism: Forging Positive Paths Through Work and Motherhood
本书探讨女性如何在工作和家庭领域生存并蓬勃发展，涵盖孕前、生育、返岗、空巢和退休等人生阶段，为职场母亲提供故事和研究支持，帮助她们自信地做出选择。
In Maternal Optimism, Ladge and Greenberg expertly explore how women can survive and thrive in the work and family domains. Spanning the gamut of potential work-life events, the authors tackle the topics of pre-pregnancy, maternity, return to work, empty nesting, and retirement. Designed as a resource for working women to “provide...stories and research that support the notion of owning and feeling confident in the choices you make as future or current working mothers” (x), this review relays the book’s key themes, focusing on those with particular relevance for management scholars and practitioners, leaders and organizations. Because of its American-centric focus and pre-COVID-19 publication, special care is taken to integrate a more global focus and consider some COVID-19-related reflections. However, diverse groups of readers in management education, academia, and practice may find this resource interesting and relevant.
