For many women in their 20's and 30's, the greatest professional
hurdle they'll need to overcome has little to do with their work
life. The most focused, confident, and ambitious women can find
themselves derailed by a tiny little thing: a new baby. While more
workplaces are espousing family-friendly cultures, women are still
subject to a "parenting penalty" and high-profile conflicts between
parenting and the workplace are all over the news: from the
controversy over companies covering the costs of egg-freezing to
the debate over parental leave and childcare inspired by Marissa
Mayer's policies at Yahoo. Here's the Plan offers an inventive and
inspiring roadmap for working mothers steering their careers
through the parenting years. Author Allyson Downey,founder of
weeSpring, the Yelp for baby products," and mother of two young
children,advises readers on all practical aspects of
ladder-climbing while parenting, such as negotiating leave, flex
time, and promotions. In the style of #GIRLBOSS or Nice Girls Don't
Get the Corner Office, Here's the Plan is the definitive guide for
ambitious mothers, written by one working mother to another.
