    Breaking With Tradition: Women and Work, the New Facts of Life
Picking up where her "Mommy Track" debate left off, Schwartz breaks what she calls the "conspiracy of silence", exposing the hidden barriers to women´s career growth and addressing the range of complex and emotionally charged issues that confront women and business today.

Today, it is both possible and desirable for women and men to make their own choices and to combine work and family in a manner and sequence that is both personally satisfying and doable.
