Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Balancing Acts!
Susan Schiffer Stautberg · 1992
52/100
👎 Skip It
This 1992 guide takes on a challenge that hasn't gone away — how working women manage career, family, romance, and personal time — but the workplace it describes has changed dramatically. The author's credibility is real, and the core conversation is perennial, but a book this dated on a topic this dynamic has been superseded by stronger, more current voices. Nostalgia value only.
