Babies and Bylines

Pallavi Aiyar

The journalist Pallavi Aiyar, in an uplifting parenting memoir, describes the battles many mothers fight within themselves and in the workplace. Aiyar narrates her own struggles with issues such as finding a work-life balance, negotiating marital equality and taming toddlers. Both thought-provoking and irreverent, Babies and Bylines is as much a call to arms for women in the workplace as it is a humorous read for those who are contemplating or experiencing parenthood.
