Description Today's women work not one but three shifts: While the first and second shifts may be physically exhausting, the third shift can be psychologically rending because many women use it to second-guess their motives, doubt their choices, and question their trade-offs.
Michele Bolton shows women how to turn the third shift into a source of self-awareness and self-confidence instead. Drawing from a three-year study of women in Silicon Valley and her own experiences as a working mother, Bolton explores the three most important dilemmas all women face, whether they're corporate executives, entrepreneurs, or full-time moms.

But her biggest savior, she says, is that her husband, Edvin, is a chef, so he is home with Brian all day before she gets home. Jeronimo, like Lane-White, said her employer made life a little easier than it might have been. Close to the end of her pregnancy, an attorney she works for suggested they find things she could do from home. The office set her up with a private network so she could work at home, and she uses it now if Brian is sick.
Like Lane-White, Jeronimo takes work home so she can spend the evening with her baby.
She also returned to work on a Thursday, easing into her new life. She pumped breast milk in a windowless meeting room reserved for her. She made sure to let people know when she would be away from her desk, so they wouldn't think she lost any verve for her job because of the baby.

The biggest thing is being accountable," she said. Like the time she was on vacation with her son and mother in Texas.
