For the first time in American history, a significant number of mothers have taken charge of major corporations. While women have been making gains in the workplace, how much has really changed over the last few decades when it comes to how working mothers balance their jobs and their families? Wall Street Journal reporter (and Power Mom herself) Joann Lublin has interviewed dozens of millennial and boomer Power Moms to explore the differences between their eras – both at the personal level and also in terms of organizational policies. Trailblazer boomers, now typically in their sixties, often endured sweeping disapproval for their demanding management careers. Mothers under forty-five navigate working parenthood with less angst – thanks to more breakthrough technology, involved husbands, and supportive employers. But manager moms still lead stressful lives. Lublin interviewed eighty-five executive mothers who divulged heartfelt tales about their illustrious lives.
