SUSAN CHIRA

New York Times Deputy Foreign Editor and author of:
A MOTHER'S PLACE: Taking the Debate about Working Mothers beyond Guilt and Blame.

A Mother's Place, which evolved from a series of front-page articles that Susan Chira wrote for the New York Times, exposes the distortions that have wrongly convinced many women that "good mothers stay at home." Chira demonstrates how women can challenge the conventional wisdom and strike the balance that best suits them and their children. She argues that a mother's happiness and satisfaction have a much more profound effect on her children than whether or not she works.
