**Business Book Awards 2025 Finalist**
**The People's Book Prize Longlisted Title 2024/25**
When a working woman becomes a mother, she faces what can seem like an impossible dilemma: how can she continue to excel at work AND be a good mum? In the light of childcare costs, does it even make sense for many women to continue to work at all?
Workplaces need women. And most women want to work - not just for financial security but for personal fulfilment and because their work can often be a key part of their identity.
Working Mother offers simple, practical tools for each stage of this complex but rewarding life change, allowing you to become the coach you need by your side every step of the way.
