01. Women and their return to work

Women need to work, and they want to work, they are good at their jobs, they have brilliant careers, but they also want to have children and take care of sick family members, they are also good at this. For thousands of women, finding the balance between work and family becomes impossible. Lack of flexibility at work forces them to choose family, and when circumstances change and they could return to work, they find the door is no longer open.

This book is written for women who have had to interrupt their career, for those who, for any reason, have had to take a step back, and for anyone who hopes to find meaning and balance in their business life.
