Julia Brannen Libri
Focusing on the challenges faced by mothers re-entering the workforce after their first child's birth, this insightful work offers an in-depth exploration of their experiences. It combines personal narratives with sociological and psychological analysis, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers in these fields. The new preface adds contemporary relevance to the original 1991 publication, enriching the discussion around work-life balance and the evolving roles of parents.
Drawing from forty years of experience, Julia Brannen offers an invaluable account of how research in family studies is conducted and 'matters' at particular times. An exceptional resource for family scholars and those interested in the methodology of social research.
