THE OTHER GLASS CEILING offers an insightful male perspective to a
debate on the lack of work-family balance in modern day families.
Based on research and full of entertaining anecdotes, this book
challenges the predominant gender roles that expect a mother to
care for her family and doubt her commitment to a career, while at
the same time requiring a father to provide for his family
financially and doubting his ability to look after his own
children. This is the other glass ceiling -- the one reflected in
gender inequity in the family home and preventing equality in
parenting. The book is perpetuated by both genders equally, and the
solution requires compromises from both sides. Charles Areni and
Stephen Holder encourage dads to 'step up', to take on a bigger
share of the burden of home duties. They encourage mums to 'let
go', to let dad get involved in child-rearing, and to bring to the
task his own skills and approaches. Breaking through the other
glass ceiling will be good for mum, good for dad - oh, and good for
the children too! "This book is an important contribution to our
understanding of modern-day families in that it explores a topic
that is pervasive in society: the lack of work-family balance." --
Rosina McAlpine, Author of "Inspired Children"
