The Orange Line: A Woman's Guide to Integrating Career, Family and Life
I am confident that when people look back a decade from now they will view publication of The Orange LineTM as a watershed event. In the book, authors Jodi Detjen, Michelle Waters, and Kelly Watson challenge women to confront assumptions they have that surround and limit their professional and their personal lives. While the authors issue this challenge with empathy and caring, they never lose sight of its underlying message: The power of change lies within. The authors advice is not easy, and their book offers no place for self-pity or excuses for blaming the system. Indeed, it may create discomfort for some women as they internalize its messages. But The Orange Line gives hope to all of us who believe that women s integration of work and family is the key to a successful society. --Paul F. Levy is the author of Goal Play!
