Get to Work: . . . And Get a Life, Before It's Too Late - Paperback
by Linda R. Hirshman (Author)
Now a classic, a groundbreaking manifesto calling into the question the idea of "choice feminism"
Does changing a toddler 's diapers count as a fulfilling job? Is the glass ceiling that keeps women from advancing in their careers actually located in the home? In Get to Work, a book that instantly ignited a firestorm of debate, Hirshman cogently argues that "opting out" of the workplace is a form of self-betrayal. Combining a hard-hitting critique of traditional feminism with practical advice to help stay-at-home moms find satisfying, well-paying work, this book will be as era-defining as The Feminine Mystique.Linda Hirshman (1944-2023) was a lawyer, cultural historian and the author of The Color of Abolition: How a Printer, a Prophet, and a Contessa Moved a Nation, Reckoning: The Epic Battle Against Sexual Abuse and Harassment, Sisters in Law: How Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World, Victory: The Triumphant Gay Revolution and many other books.
