Mary Ann Mason, together with her daughter Eve Mason Ekman, are the authors of Mothers on the Fast Track: How a Generation Can Balance Family and Careers. In their book they try and answer the question ‘why women are falling off the fast track?’ In other words, why – when the number of women graduating from university has steadily increased over the past decades – is the number of women in the top ranks of companies still not rising?

The authors have written the book for young women thinking about how to combine their career with starting a family. It also provides support and guidance to older women trying to establish themselves again after taking a time out to raise children in their previous careers.

“Why can’t privileged women on the fast track crack the glass ceiling? This mother-daughter team offers a compelling and provocative explanation, helping us understand why all women face gender inequality once they enter the labor force, and even more – what we can do about it.”–Ruth Rosen, author of The World Split Open

Examples of the chapters included in the book are:

• The Student Years: 18 to 32
• The Make-Or-Break-Years: 30 to 40
• The “Mother Problem”: Up, Out or Sidelined
• Mother’s Choices: Staying the Course, Opting Out, or Dropping Down
• Beyond the Glass Ceiling: 40 to 64 and beyond
• Second Chances for Mothers on the Fast Track

“What an excellent book! What makes the book so powerful is the personal stories, gleaned from what must have been hundreds of interviews with women in American society. Mothers on the Fast Track made me think; and, most often, find validation of what I have seen in the lives of my wife, five sisters, and ten nieces.”– Tom Campbell, Dean, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley

“Finally a book that makes crystal clear the road ahead for women. Mothers on the Fast Track beautifully lays out the next steps for the smartest female brains to lead the nation.”– Louann Brizendine, M.D., author of The Female Brain

Mothers on the Fast Track: How a Generation Can Balance Family and Careers benefits from stories and advice from many interviewed women. It gives the reader a look at the many challenges mothers face in balancing careers and family.
