Women's Work: A Reckoning with Work and Home by Megan K. Stack

3.0

I went into this book thinking it would be about the women that help her raise her children and extensive detail on their lives. While they are characters and more detail on their lives does make it into the last 20% of the book, it seems like more of an afterthought.

While it wasn't what I was expecting, I did come to like the authors frankness throughout the book and how her life changed and the impact having children had on her. I have 9 month old and a wife who has certainly had many of the thoughts that the author shared. While I am not oblivious to the different pressures and expectations between men and women in society and in the home, it was a good example of how those can weigh on
