Book News Annotation:

Educated at Harvard, Schroeder practiced law for many years in Colorado and Washington, D.C. before serving in the Clinton administration as deputy undersecretary for farm and foreign agricultural services. He shares his experiences as the husband of former US congresswoman Pat Schroeder (D-Colorado, 1972-1996), and how he survived--and prospered and benefited--from his role as "Mr. Pat Schroeder." The text offers general readers, particularly dual-career couples, observations about how men interact with women, particularly successful women; the challenges to success in a dual-career marriage; and how men might handle the situation when their wives' professional achievements exceed their own.
