Description
Why motherhood remains so hard to navigate in modern society is a question that Eliane Glaser poses in her thought-provoking book. From the moment women become pregnant, their autonomy and bodily autonomy are repeatedly challenged, with their bodies becoming subject to scrutiny and control. The experience of childbirth itself can be traumatic, and once at home, mothers face significant barriers to equality and support. Glaser's book is a searing critique of the societal expectations placed on mothers, and the ways in which they are often treated poorly despite being idealised. She argues that campaigns for mothers' rights have become unfashionable, and that it is time to shift the needle and improve the business of child-rearing for everyone. In this vital book, Glaser asks us to confront the uncomfortable truths about motherhood and its impact on women's lives.
