About Author:

Award-winning journalist Pallavi Aiyar has spent several years reporting from, and parenting in, China, Europe and Indonesia. She is the author of Smoke and Mirrors, Chinese Whiskers and Punjabi Parmesan. Pallavi is a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, and a former Reuters Fellow at Oxford University. Her new book Babies and Bylines is a parenting memoir of a working mother of two young boys in three different parts of the world – Beijing, Brussels and Jakarta. Witty, irreverent and honest, it highlights the battles a mother must fight with herself, and the world, as she struggles with issues that seem to stubbornly remain the same, generation after generation work-life balance, negotiating marital equality and taming toddlers.

About Book:

Babies and Bylines is a parenting memoir by a journalist who even-handedly reports on the battles a mother must fight with herself, and the world, as she struggles with issues that seem to stubbornly remain the same, generation after generation: finding a work-life balance, negotiating marital equality and taming toddlers. Thought-provoking and irreverent, Babies and Bylines is as much a call to arms for women in the workplace as it is a laugh-out-loud stress buster for those contemplating parenthood or experiencing it.
