This Could Be You....

In the six years that have passed since Rachel Lehmann-Haupt launched the first edition of this trailblazing memoir about the new choices that women face as they are having children older and trying to balance career, love and family, a lot has changed. Today, delaying marriage and childbirth to invest in your career has become the norm as women edge out men as the new majority in the workplace. In this 2nd edition Lehmann-Haupt has updated this timely, poignant, and profoundly honest account of her own efforts to reconcile modern love with modern life with the latest medical, technological, and social science research. Told through the voices of multiple women facing the challenge of balancing their careers, family aspirations, and that brief, beautiful window wherein their bodies are ready for babies, while also incorporating her personal experience trying to work, date, and see the world, Lehmann-Haupt describe how she came to get her eggs frozen. The book also includes new chapters that tell the profoundly inspiring story of what happened after that decision. In Her Own Sweet Time will resonate with a huge generation of young women who want it all—a career, a family, the perfect partner— but haven’t figured out yet how to fit it all together.
