Description
This trailblazing memoir examines the trials--and modern scientific solutions--of balancing career and love with the realities of reproductive timing. Women are making massive strides in gender equality, edging out men as the new majority in the workforce. But, because of their brief window for childbearing, this also means a drastically shifting paradigm for motherhood and family planning. In this 2nd edition, Lehmann-Haupt has updated the inspiring, honest account of her own efforts to reconcile modern love and modern life with the latest medical research. In Her Own Sweet Time will resonate with a generation of young women who want it all--career, family, and the perfect partner--but haven't yet figured out how it all fits together. Join Lehmann-Haupt as she interviews women and travels the world to explore and understand the new frontiers of family.

"A talented writer and fierce feminist....Rachel [is] a woman who dares to be different." - Gail Sheehy, author of Daring: My Passages, A Memoir.
"This book offers extraordinary, fresh, and well-synthesized information that will be useful to doctors, therapists, women, and couples who are striving to understand the complex worlds of fertility and relationships. Its author is thoughtful, honest, compassionate, and funny. She reminded me of my daughter and her friends, all those Ophelias who are now in their thirties and struggling with the stormy seas of motherhood, commitment, and work." -- Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia
"Ms. Lehmann-Haupt reminds women that sometimes baby makes two, not three, and that in either case, they won't be going at it alone." -The New York Times
