内容简介
Women in today’s advanced capitalist societies are encouraged to “lean in.” The media and government champion women’s empowerment. In a cultural climate where women can seemingly have it all, why do so many successful professional women―lawyers, financial managers, teachers, engineers, and others―give up their careers after having children and become stay-at-home mothers? How do they feel about their decision and what do their stories tell us about contemporary society?
Heading Home reveals the stark gap between the promise of gender equality and women’s experience of continued injustice。 Shani Orgad draws on in-depth, personal, and profoundly ambivalent interviews with highly educated London women who left paid employment to take care of their children while their husbands continued to work in high-powered jobs。 Despite identifying the structural forces that maintain gender inequality, these women still struggle to articulate their decisions outside the narrow cultural ideals that devalue motherhood and individualize success and failure。
Orgad juxtaposes these stories with media and policy depictions of women, work, and family, detailing how―even as their experiences fly in the face of fantasies of work-life balance and marriage as an egalitarian partnership―these women continue to interpret and judge themselves according to the ideals that are failing them。 Rather than calling for women to transform their feelings and behavior, Heading Home argues that we must unmute and amplify women’s desire, disappointment, and rage, and demand social infrastructure that will bring about long-overdue equality both at work and at home。

内容简介
时代在进步，女性要真正走出困境，还要激发男性的觉醒，不光两性关系需要一个全新的定义，婚姻与育儿的价值一定也需要重估。
从个体家庭到公共社会，是时候重新分配育儿责任了！
当一名职业女性成为妈妈，她必然要面临事业和家庭之间的冲突，这是理所当然的吗？
这本书告诉我们，不！
本书以美国职场妈妈的困境为出发点，选取了社会政策和文化环境非常不同的四个国家——瑞典、德国、意大利、美国，对其中的135位中产阶级职场女性进行访谈，调研她们想要以及需要什么样的支持以缓解工作和家庭的冲突，从而从国家制度、市场配置、文化氛围等角度，试图勾画一种对职场妈妈更为公平并能够提供更为充分的支持的社会图景。
