Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Women aren’t getting a fair deal—at work or at home. Whether you’re in “the squeeze” already or just starting your career path, this book gives you the data to understand why and the tools to change it.


The demands on working mothers and professional women are unsustainable. We’re expected to build ambitious careers, fight for workplace equality, maintain equality at home, raise engaged children, and somehow find time for ourselves. And when we inevitably fall short? We’re told to try harder and wake up earlier.

In Having It All, Wharton economist Dr. Corinne Low uses data to prove what you’ve always suspected: the system is rigged against women. She explains HOW we got here and WHY things feel so unsustainable. Then she offers a simple framework—along with loads of tools and scripts—to help you reclaim your time and happiness.

Inside, you’ll learn:
• Word-for-word scripts for asking for a raise, renegotiating with your partner, and setting boundaries
• Why women negotiate differently than men — and how to use it to your advantage
• A framework for career decisions: when to push, when to pivot, when to pause
• How to evaluate whether your relationship is a good deal
• How to structure your time, money, and energy around what you value

Dr. Low blends rigorous research with personal experience, including her own story of burning out as a working mother and rebuilding her life on her own terms.

In the tradition of Fair Play and Cribsheet, Having It All is the economics playbook for modern women—sharp, funny, and finally useful.
