Testimonials

“This book offers a compelling analysis of the changing demographics of American families today, the impact of often-unfair policies, and sound suggestions for addressing the problem.”

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX)

“A thorough analysis – with solutions – of how 21st century problems and U.S. public policies toward women and their families remain frozen in the mid-20th century."

Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL)

“American families need relief from the higher taxation and tough choices facing mother who work outside the home. The first-hand accounts in this book reveal how and why public policy, especially Social Security and tax policy, must change to reflect the needs of modern families.”

Congresswoman Deborah Pryce (R-OH)

“This book is a personal look into the problems women and families face in the 21^st century economy.  It is a must-read for changing the hopelessly dated American institutions causing those problems.”

Congresswoman Kay Granger (R-TX)

“This book offers firsthand, personal accounts about the progress that women, particularly working mothers and their families, have made in achieving workplace equity.  More importantly, it points out how far we need to go and what we need to do to get there.”

Former Senator Zell Miller (D-GA)

“A real eye-opener, a wake-up call for all women and a common-sense case for overdue reforms.”

Terry Neese, Co-Founder, Women Impacting Public Policy

“This book provides personal insight into the single most important social and economic development of the 20th century, the entry of women into the labor market, and provides sensible and workable 21st century solutions.”

Nancy Pfotenhauer, Independent Women’s Forum

“Leaving Women Behind is a must read because it offers not only economically positive solutions but also family-strengthening ones as well.”

Sally Pipes, President and CEO, Pacific Research Institute

“Celeste Colgan and John Goodman have written a thought-provoking book on measures to encourage workplace flexibility.  I hope that this book will start a discussion on how to make it easier for workers to move in and out of the labor force, not just in the United States, but all over the world.”

Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Senior Fellow, The Hudson Institute;
former Chief Economist, U.S. Department of Labor

“Leaving Women Behind challenges the policies that disadvantage working women and their families.  The book offers fresh solutions that will all women in the workforce to succeed, reach their potential, and maximize their contributions to society.”

Colleen Barrett, President, Southwest Airlines
