Synopsis:

Why do women find work-life balance so hard? Can women "have it all?" Authors Detjen, Waters, and Watson probe these questions and more in The Orange Line(TM) - A Woman's Guide to Integrating Career, Family and Life. Through interviews with 118 college-educated women, they document the ongoing work-life struggle and how women hold themselves back with outdated ideals and rigid behavioral rules. The authors provide tools for women to take a new career path that includes work, family, and themselves, and to look inward to claim their power.
