Synopsis

Originally written as a guide to her daughters, "It's Not the Glass Ceiling, It's the Sticky Floor" is Karen Engberg's answer to the great questions created by liberation. This is an urgent call for women to negotiate equality in the home and for men to understand that motherhood and 'housework' are just as important as bread-winning. 'The ability to spot-treat stains, remember who doesn't like brownies with nuts, memorise the baby-sitter's number, and remember that toilet paper is needed even when it's not on the grocery list, involves talents residing in the twilight zone of human accomplishments. These skills do nothing for a resume but are essential to civilised survival. Then your husband comes home from work and wonders what you've been doing all day'. Welcome to the motherly vocation of what Engberg labels the 'Small Stuff Technician'. In pithy and hard-hitting chapters, using hilarious and hair-raising personal experiences, Engberg challenges the studies and assertions of 'experts' who fail to address family issues in realistic, or realisable, terms. She offers fresh points of view and advice for women on youthful decision-making, motherhood, what to expect from husbands and fathers, domestic duties, parenting, handling teenagers, finance, and much more.
