Summary:

Praise for Power Moms "Power Moms releases us working mothers from the guilt of outdated roles and unrealistic expectations. Most important, Lublin empowers us with the stories of incredible female leaders."---SARAH ALTER, CEO and president of Network of Executive Women --

"Joann Lublin helps unravel the myth of having it all and reminds working moms to embrace the messy realities of work/life balance. It's a fantastic case study of working women."---MEG WHITMAN, former CEO of Quibi, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Hewlett-Packard --

"Powerful women aren't yet powerful enough because they still face obstacles their male counterparts don't, such as the motherhood pay gap and unequal division of labor in the home. That's both unfair and costly, not only to the individual women who suffer unjustly but also to families, communities, businesses, and society. Thanks to Joann Lublin for her gripping account of the real lives of today's executive mothers and her practical recommendations for our movement to an egalitarian world."---STEWART D. FRIEDMAN, Professor Emeritus of Management Practice, University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and author of the bestsellers Total Leadership and Leading the Life You Want and coauthor of Parents Who Lead --

"Power Moms is a must-read for the next generation of business leaders and working moms and moms-to-be. Yes, the world has changed for young women balancing motherhood and business. But Power Moms illustrates how much further we have to go so that women and men can raise their children well while carving out successful careers."---ABBE RAVEN, former CEO and acting chairman, A+E Networks --

"There is no person better qualified to opine on this subject than Joann Lublin. Through her career at the Wall Street Journal, she has developed an unparalleled understanding of the world of work as seen through the eyes of highly successful women. As a devoted journalist, wife, and mother, she has a deep and visceral understanding of the dance required to raise a family and navigate one's career journey through that world of work. As a society, we can do better, and Joann helps us see how."---DOUG CON ANT, founder, Conant Leadership; former CEO, Campbell Soup Company; New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Contents --Book Jacket.
