”This is a provocative, persuasive and important book. Even
those who passionately disagree with its conclusions will come away
enriched and enlightened from the process of confronting its
arguments.”
—Michael Medved, Nationally Syndicated Talk Radio Host and
Columnist, USA Today
“In the 21st century ‘stay-at-home mom’ is neither a compliment
nor an epithet, but the latest chapter in the ongoing stories of
women, marriage, and careers in America. Megan Basham’s fascinating
study of women in the oldest and most challenging workplace of
all–the home–is the owner’s manual for women and men who look upon
marriage as a genuine partnership, and the key to success.”
—Philip Terzian, Literary Editor, The Weekly Standard
“Megan Basham offers wise and eloquent counsel for those willing
to ignore popular opinion as they pursue family happiness.”
—Marvin Olasky, editor-in-chief, World
“Meghan Barsham’s book tells us three timely truths you will not
hear anywhere else: On average, highly educated wives play a
crucial role in their husband’s career success, women who let their
husbands take the lead in breadwinning enjoy happier marriages, and
couples who focus on common goals enjoy happier and more stable
marriages. So, husbands and wives, take careful note of this
engaging and important new book.”
—W. Bradford Wilcox, Associate Professor of Sociology at the
University of Virginia and Director of the Marriage Matters
Project
“Basham’s fresh and persuasive argument offers a new social
accounting of married life which credits the meaningful work of
mothers who stay at home. She demonstrates how wives can invest
their time and talent advancing the partnership of marriage to the
benefit of the entire family. This is a wise and inspirational
guide for every woman (and man) who wants more out of family life
than is often experienced in the conventional two-career
household.”
—Neil Gilbert, Professor of Social Welfare, University of
California, Berkeley, and author of A Mother’s Work: How Feminism,
the Market, and Policy Shape Family Life
“In this brave, helpful book, Megan Basham shows women how to be
crucial to a strong team rather than just a solitary star.
Perhaps more important, she gives them the dignity and tools to
break free from feminist dogma and choose their own path. I
suffered feminist guilt when I minimized my psychology practice to
become my husband’s editor and networker and a more involved mom —
even though I loved it and gained an irreplaceable role in my
marriage and my kids’ lives. Thank you, Megan, for giving
women the gumption and the tools to team up with their husbands
rather than compete with them.”
—Diane Medved, Ph.D., author of The Case Against Divorce and
coauthor of The American Family
“Without using the word, Megan Basham has rediscovered the
Biblical notion of ‘helpmeet,’ the wife whose intimate partnership
with her husband operates not only in their family but also in her
support for his work. She explores what this role consists of and
how it draw it draws a couple closer. There’s food for thought here
for any wife, including one who has her own career.”
—Claudia Anderson, Managing Editor, The Weekly Standard
