From Library Journal
With 60 percent of women working outside the home, two-career families have become the norm. This book explores the serious family problems that sometimes result. The first two-thirds, stridently written, is a litany of horrors in which men are almost always to blame. By the time the reader is halfway through, all feelings are numbed by the telling and retelling of domestic agonies. In the final one-third the tone changes dramatically as the author seeks solutions to the problems described earlier. She raises some thoughtful social and individual issues worth pondering by anyone with the stamina to reach this part of the book. Unfortunately, the book is a case of overkill that obscures an important issue facing the majority of American families today. John M. Haynes, Haynes Mediation Associates, New York
