The girls want it too

Over the years, “family or career” has become “family and career”. But… Women live in a time full of contradictions. On the one hand, our predecessors fought for rights that, years ago, they could only dream of. On the other hand, due to politics and historical events, emancipation remains incomplete, and women in the modern era still face a range of old and new challenges. Especially when they want to start a family. The second shift, the motherhood penalty, the gender pay gap... these are the real challenges women face today when they decide they want what is offered to men without any negative consequences. Can anything be done about it? This book will show you the current situation, provide inspiration, and offer a helping hand in balancing a career and parenthood. But don’t expect any specific, one-size-fits-all guide. Such a thing doesn’t exist. So what can you expect from this book? - The historical context of the development of women's issues and motherhood in our country, - surveys and studies that will give you an idea of our situation, - inspiration from places where things already work differently, - the experiences of many parents in various life situations, - an insight into the stereotypes that influence our thinking, - and experience-proven practical tips for various aspects of balancing life. Let's support and inspire each other. After all, we don't want our daughters to be dealing with the same problems in 20 years that we face today.
