Now leading Stanford University psychologist Dr. Laraine Zappert, who specializes in the issues of women and work, draws upon her twenty years of clinical and research experience and a landmark study to answer these questions and create a road map of innovative solutions. Dr. Zappert surveyed more than three hundred women who have graduated from Stanford's Graduate School of Business, and has incorporated case studies from hundreds of women professionals in each chapter. Her findings address such common concerns as:

• Do I really have to choose between career and family?
• How do I handle the stresses of my job and the demands of parenting?
• How do children affect my career, and when is the best time to have them?
• How do I keep my relationships healthy?
• Who will care for my children when I'm not available?
