Resumen:

A Mother's Place : Reviewing the latest scientific research, Chira shows that, contrary to popular belief, children of working mothers turn out just as well as those raised by mothers who stay home, and she explains how the media, the courts, and politicians distort this data to suit their own agendas. The reality that most experts have chosen to ignore, Chira argues, is that a mother's happiness and satisfaction have a much more profound effect on her children than whether or not she works. With passion and compassion, she presents a vision of motherhood that offers reassurance while insisting that all of us-mothers, fathers, and society---fulfill our obligations to our children.
