This book goes beneath the surface of what it means to be the Female Breadwinner and drags women kicking and screaming out of the closet. Why? Because, being the Female Breadwinner can fundamentally challenge women's identity. It is the trigger, catalyst and cause for many complex issues that women have to manage. For a successful family life and career, women must address and examine these internal challenges for their physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Find out: where your guilt button is and who is pressing it, what you love about being breadwinner that you were afraid to admit, how you tackle the thorny subject of money, how to cure yourself of Superwoman Syndrome

A really inspiring read for the modern day woman. Easy to read and stimulates reflection about major issues facing Breadwinners. Lots of practical ideas and questioning to help people work through their own situation. A thought provoking way to address a topic that really needs a higher profile in today's current society. Also was great to see the author does not leave you behind at the end of the book with signposting to networking and further support. Thank you!

Jennifer Garrett's Rocking your Role is aimed at the high-achieving woman; but as so many of us are now in dual-income households, her guidance is valuable for many men, also. Where her book marks itself out as being particularly timely and helpful is in showing how real life is lived in relationships. The concept of entitlement, and the idea of quotas, can only at best play supporting roles in the quest for a more even balance between men and women in the economy and in society.
This was underlined in what was, for me, the most startling fact to emerge from the book. On page 38 she notes, almost in passing, that nearly all the women she interviewed saw being a main earner as a temporary state of affairs. Given that her interviewees included high-achieving executives, I found this extraordinary. Nothing better illustrates the extent to which issues around equality are deep-seated and psychodynamic in character, with discrimination but one facet. Jenny follows up her observation with the excellent question:
`How is thinking of being a main earner as temporary helping?'
I have written about the limitations of discussing work-life balance as though all work were slavery and something to be minimized. Work can offer achievement and satisfaction as well as duty and routine. Children want quality time with their parents; but they want to feel proud of their parents and their career achievements. There is thus much sound practical advice for career men with families also.
I wish Rocking your Role well; a book like this, should it become a top seller, will do more to transform the lives of women, and those of their partners and families, than any number of Government commissions.
