'Working Mothers: The Essential Guide', by mother@work Editor, Denise Tyler is out now!

Nobody would say being a working mother is a doddle, whether you choose to do it or not. But there are ways and means to make it easier. Denise Tyler’s practical book aims to help you find a bit more flexibility in your life, feel less guilty about working motherhood, make sure you know your rights and perhaps find a bit of space for you!

It looks at some of the most common areas of discussion, such as:

• Am I entitled to change my work hours?
• Why do I feel guilty all the time?
• Would it be easier to work for myself?
• Am I entitled to financial help?
• How can I explain to my family I need their help?
• Where does all the time go?
• How can I cope with feelings of guilt?

Whatever your questions are or even if you’re just starting to plan for working motherhood, then this book will help you find the answers.

It's out now (July 1st), published by Forward Press.
