Not Your Mother’s Life shows how today’s young women are uniquely poised to reach out and take – or create – the work-life balance that proved so elusive for the boomers. The key, according to Peters, is for women to use their newfound economic power to choose their lives instead of letting their lives choose them. Peters introduces readers to women in varied walks of life who have done exactly this. Full of real-life examples of women who are doing it their own way, Not Your Mother’s Life offers this new generation a vision of how to remake the work world according to their own needs – ultimately benefiting women and men.
