This perceptive book was written by two women who have lived abroad for many years. They also provide sound advice on how to cope effectively with problems that arise. For the veteran or the first-time sojourner, this book illuminates the advantages of living overseas and offers practical suggestions that help women take advantage of one of life's greatest opportunities, that of sharing in another culture. In response to comments on the first edition, the authors added sections addressing reentry and the special concerns of women who are part of minority groups.
Information is provided for women seeking employment overseas.
Women will find food for thought, such as examining motives for an overseas move, learning about culture shock and other adjustments, handling stress and loneliness, managing the household, helping children adjust, and staying healthy. We appreciate your interest in Intercultural Press.
