Achieving this goal, she argues, will require a broad-based movement that harnesses the energy of existing organizations of mothers that already support workplace flexibility in their own ways.Crowley examines the efforts of five diverse national mothers' organizations: Mocha Moms, which aims to assist mothers of color; Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS), which stresses the promotion of Christian values; Mothers & More, which emphasizes support for those moving in and out of the paid workforce; MomsRising, which focuses on online political advocacy; and the National Association of Mothers' Centers (NAMC), which highlights community-based networking. After providing an engaging and detailed account of the history, membership profiles, strategies, and successes of each of these organizations, Crowley suggests actions that will allow greater workplace flexibility to become a viable reality and points to many opportunities to promote intergroup mobilization and unite mothers once and for all. 606 $aMothers$zUnited States$xSocieties and clubs 606 $aWomen employees$zUnited States$xSocieties and clubs 606 $aWork and family$zUnited States 615 0$aMothers$xSocieties and clubs. 615 0$aWomen employees$xSocieties and clubs. 615 0$aWork and family 676 $a306.874/3 700 $aCrowley$b Jocelyn Elise$f1970-$01708905 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825873803321 996 $aMothers unite$94098226 997 $aUNINA
