Resources and Research

I have been conducting a LOT of research in the idea of writing a book for moms who want to work in a flexible manner.  There are many books already out there (though not one with a compilation of real stories of what women/mothers are actually doing - how they started, what challenges they face, etc).  There are also may groups, websites, resources, etc.  I am going to start this post and either update it or repeat it as I find new information as a reference for both my ongoing initiative and for the sake of others - a one-stop-location for information.

Books:

• Lean In; Sheryl Sandberg

• Work Women Want: Work at Home or Go Part-Time; Jennifer Forest

• Torn: True Stories of Kids, Career & the Conflict of Modern Motherhood; Samantha Parent Walravens
• The End of Work as We Know It; Nadine Mockler and Laurie Young
• Back on the Career Track; Carol Fishman Cohen and Vivian Steir Rabin
