Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family (2015) is a book by Anne-Marie Slaughter, expanding on her Atlantic essay about why women cannot easily combine high office with raising children. Slaughter argues that workplaces and public policy undervalue caregiving and that both women and men need structural room to combine careers with family responsibilities. She proposes changes in how employers measure commitment, how governments support care and how households share unpaid labor at home.

- Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is Anne-Marie Slaughter's "Unfinished Business." This is not just the most important book on working women that I've read recently, it's the most important book about the workplace of tomorrow, and how to get it right. Men and women must read it.”
