This book presents an understanding of work-family balance for
working adults belonging to a number of different family structures
(e.g. single and/or childfree adults, LGBT couples, families with
female breadwinners). It contends that family structure should
serve as a way of thinking about diversity (i.e., race, gender,
age, family) in the U.S. workplace. It also argues that-in addition
to accommodations occurring through workplace policy-the
negotiation of work-family balance happens as a result of
self-advocacy that occurs in everyday communication about family at
work. Relaying the stories of a number of different working adults
belonging to a variety of different family structures, it explores
the range of obstacles faced in the attempt at balancing work and
family life, generates informed ideas for eliminating barriers
commonly experienced in balancing work and family, and
problematizes enduring assumptions regarding gender roles and the
myth of steadfast public and private spheres.
