Unfinished Business
Anne-Marie Slaughter · 2015 · 368 pages
A powerful, persuasive, thought-provoking vision for how to finish the long struggle for equality between men and women, work and family.
When Anne-Marie Slaughter accepted her dream job as the first female director of policy planning at the U.S. State Department in 2009, she was confident she could juggle the demands of her position with her responsibilities as a wife and mother. But then life intervened. Parenting needs caused her to make a decision to leave the State Department and return to an academic career that gave her more time for her family.
Now, in her refreshing and forthright voice, Anne-Marie Slaughter shares her vision of what true equality between men and women really means and how we can get there. With moving personal stories, individual action plans, and a broad outline for change, Unfinished Business presents a future in which all of us can finally finish the business of equality for women and men, work and family.
