* Mom the Chemistry Professor

Mom the Chemistry Professor: Personal Accounts and Advice from Chemistry Professors who are Mothers by Kimberly Woznack (Editor), Amber Charlebois (Editor), Renée Cole (Editor), Cecilia Marzabadi (Editor), Gail Webster (Editor)

When is the "right" time? How can I meet the demands of a professorship whilst caring for a young family? Choosing to become a mother has a profound effect on the career path of women holding academic positions, especially in the physical sciences.

Yet many women successfully manage to do both. In this second edition, which is a project of the Women Chemists Committee (WCC) of the American Chemical Society (ACS), 40 inspirational personal accounts describe the challenges and rewards of combining motherhood with an academic career in chemistry. The authors are all women at different stages of their career and from a range of institution types, in both tenure and non-tenure track positions.
