Women today feel under pressure - from films, TV, magazines - to be great at everything they touch. Taking a fresh look at this idea of the modern Superwoman - fascinating career, model family, hectic social life - Paula Nicolson unravels the unattainable myth from workaday reality and so helps women take back control of their lives. Using self-tests to aid decision-making and identify areas of stress and anxiety, "Having It All?" prompts women to ask themselves the right questions about their lives and examine the choices they face in order to learn what is really important. "Having It All?" takes you off the treadmill and helps you find your ways to win! |
