by Anne-Marie Slaughter

Recommended by

"Anne Marie Slaughter has spent the bulk of her career thinking about matters of war and peace, national security and diplomacy and everything else wrapped up in the world of foreign policy. But in 2012, the former dean of Princeton’s School of International Affairs waded into the cultural debate about work/life balance with an article in The Atlantic called “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All.” In Unfinished Business, Slaughter fleshes out a broader argument about why women and men are not given the support they need to pursue meaningful work and raise families. What makes this book so compelling is the shifting perspective between Slaughter and her husband, Andrew Moravcsik, who for several years has been the “lead parent” in their family. It’s a must-read for any working couple trying to find the time to be good employees, good parents and — oh yeah — good partners to each other."
