Description:

In 'The Mommy Myth' the authors reveal the ground that has been lost to the cult of the 'new momism', a trend in Western culture that suggests that women can only achieve contentment through the perfection of mothering, a perfection that remains out of reach no matter how hard women try to 'have it all'.
