Synopsis
Examining the trend of affluent, educated women abandoning their careers to raise their children, Hirshman argues that the time is ripe for a new feminist revolution based on values and quality of life, rather than on the false promise of "choice.", Examining the trend of affluent, educated women abandoning their careers to raise their children, Hirshman argues that the time is ripe for a new feminist revolution based on values and quality of life, rather than on the false promise of choice., When Hua Wu arrives in New York City, her life seems destined to resemble that of countless immigrants before her. She spends her hectic days in a restaurant in Chinatown, and her lonesome nights in a noisy, crowded tenement, yearning for those she left behind. But one day in a park in the West Village, Hua meets Jane Templeton and her daughter, Lily, a two-year-old adopted from China. Eager to expose Lily to the language and culture of her birth country, Jane hires Hua to be her nanny. Hua soon finds herself in a world far removed from the cramped streets of Chinatown or her grandmother's home in Fuzhou, China. Jane, a museum curator of Asian art, and her husband, a theater critic, are cultured and successful. They pull Hua into their circle of family and friends until she is deeply attached to Lily and their way of life. But when cracks show in the family's perfect faÇade, what will Hua do to protect the little girl who reminds her so much of her own past? A beautiful and revelatory novel, Happy Family is the promising debut of a perceptive and graceful writer., When Linda R. Hirshman published an article called Homeward Bound in last Decembers "American Prospect," she fully intended to reignite the dying embers of feminisms fire. But the ensuing maelstrom of criticism and applause from national op-ed columnists like David Brooks in "The New York Times" to mothersstay-at-home and working mothers alike surprised even her. Suddenly, the retired professor of philosophy and womens studies is at the center of an increasingly hot debate on sexual politics. With "Get to Work," Hirshman expands her now-infamous call for all women to realize the ideal of economic independence and self-determination. Examining the trend of affluent, educated women abandoning their careers in order to raise children, Hirshman has concluded that the real glass ceiling thats barring women from success in the workplace is in their own homes. Why, forty years after "The Feminine Mystique," do men and women assign the low-level and generally unrewarding jobs of housekeeping and child rearing to women? The time is ripe for a new feminist revolution based on values and quality of life, not some false promise of choice. "Get to Work" will lead the national discussion as Hirshman lays out a strategic plan to help women rediscover that their place is not necessarily in the kitchen.
