SHARING THE PANTS: ESSAYS ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE BY MEN MARRIED TO LAWYERS

Jacquelyn Hersh Slotkin & Samantha Slotkin Goodman, editors

Work-life balance is not just a woman’s issue. Both men and women struggle to balance work and personal lives. This book of essays focuses on work-life balance from the male perspective. We asked a group of husbands of women lawyers – all ages, all generations, various professions – to share their observations, insights, and thoughts about the pressures they’ve faced achieving work-life balance. Men wrote essays about prioritizing time as a spouse and parent, working arrangements, and being an effective team. They described efforts made to support the advancement of women in the law and, in particular, their spouse’s career; professional and personal achievements and hardships; impossible challenges; changes in the legal profession for women observed and experienced; and workable solutions to balance competing demands. This collection of essays illustrates the pressures faced by men and their spouses; describes work-life balance issues and the satisfactions and difficulties of a dual career marriage; gives advice on how to do it; and explains the frustrations, disappointments, demands, and compromises – from the husband’s perspective.
