"When journalist Josh Levs was denied fair parental leave by his employer after his child was born, he fought back and won. Since then, he's become an advocate for modern families and working fathers. He explores the changing face of fatherhood and what it means for our individual lives, families, workplaces, and society. Today, stay-at-home dads are increasingly common, and growing numbers of men are working part-time or flextime schedules to spend more time with their children. Even the traditional breadwinner-dad is being transformed. Dads today are more emotionally and physically involved on the home front. They are "all in" and like mothers they are struggling with work-life balance. Despite these unprecedented changes, our laws, corporate policies, and gender-based expectations in the workplace remain rigid. They are preventing both women and men from living out the equality we believe in and hurting businesses in the process. Women have done a great job of speaking out about this. It's now time for men to join in"--Provided by publisher.
