This book is principally concerned with the experience of becoming and being a mother in full-time paid employment. It deals with two overlapping transitions: the transition to parenthood, since it focuses on women having a first child; and the transition back to employment, since it also focuses on women who resume work after taking maternity leave. To a lesser extent, it is also a study of dual earner households, since it is about mothers in two-parent households, nearly all with partners in full-time employment.
