From "baby boot camp" for new dads to exactly what to say when negotiating leave with the boss, this savvy book offers confidence through fresh ideas for today's families.Getting to 50/50 presents a compelling case that making it possible for parents to mix professional achievement and family life can strengthen their families. |
