The Fifth Trimester: The Working Mom's Guide to Style, Sanity, and Big Success After Baby by Lauren Smith Brody

4.0

Some chapters more applicable than others, of course, but overall, a pretty handy guide to being a working mom and, honestly, a nice reminder of how good I have it w/r/t work. Admittedly, I skimmed some sections, like the chapter on being self-employed or owning your own business. She makes a good effort to include women in all kinds of professions (one of her interview subjects is a police detective who was working vice when her baby was born!), but it still feels most relevant to moms in office jobs, rather than in professions or positions that require shift work.

My favorite piece of advice is to be your own role model by thinking "What would [Iris's] mom do?"
