Sommario/riassunto

Professor Mommy is designed as a guide for women who are trying to combine the life of the mind with the joys of motherhood. The book addresses key questions - when to have children and how many, what kinds of academic institutions are the most family friendly, how to juggle research and teaching with your children's needs, etc. - for women throughout all stages of their academic careers, from graduate



school through full professor. The authors tackle these issues not only during the infant/toddler stages, but also follow the demands of motherhood all the way through the empty nest.
