Time Out for Motherhood Author:Lucy Scott, Meredith Joan Angwin This is an eminently sound and intelligent discussion of the problems that motherhood presents to the modern working woman. The authors deal sensitively with difficult issues and offer practical and useful advice from which any woman who has doubts about becoming a mother will profit. — "Today, with so many women working outside the home, a book ... more »such as this has great merit. But the main reason why this book is needed is that most of today's women have not learned as children how to mother a child. things were different in the past, when children took care of younger siblings from birth on. They became familiar with the problems presented by mothering a child and, so to speak, grew into motherhood. This is no longer the case. for this reason, there is a need and a real place for a book like Time Out for Motherhood."
