This document discusses the effects of working mothers on themselves and their children. It notes that working mothers can experience both positive and negative effects. Positively, working mothers tend to be happier, healthier, and more self-confident. However, they often feel rushed and guilty. When it comes to children, working mothers may provide social and cognitive benefits but also feel guilt about leaving their children with others. Research also suggests daughters of working mothers do better academically but sons show lower performance initially. Finding the right balance and support is important for working mothers.
