<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A landmark study of two-career parents, and a compassionate inside view of ten couples struggling to find time and energy for jobs, children and marriage.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An updated edition of a standard in its field that remains relevant more than thirty years after its original publication. <p/></b>Over thirty years ago, sociologist and University of California, Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild set off a tidal wave of conversation and controversy with her bestselling book, <i>The Second Shift. </i>Hochschild's examination of life in dual-career housholds finds that, factoring in paid work, child care, and housework, working mothers put in one month of labor more than their spouses do every year. Updated for a workforce that is now half female, this edition cites a range of updated studies and statistics, with an afterword from Hochschild that addresses how far working mothers have come since the book's first publication, and how much farther we all still must go.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Arlie Russell Hochschild is the author of <b>The Time Bind</b> and most recently <b>Global Woman</b>, which she edited with Barbara Ehrenreich. She is a tenured professor at University of California, Berkeley.
