Reviews"Filled with jaw-dropping facts and findings, this brilliant, absolutely fascinating book grabbed me from page one. In Mom Genes , Abigail Tucker distills an extraordinary range of cutting-edge research into fun, accessible chapters. Written in an engaging, often hilarious voice, Mom Genes illuminates the biology of everything motherly. I couldn't put it down." --Amy Chua, Yale Law professor and author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and Political Tribes : Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations
SynopsisEveryone knows how babies are made, but scientists are only just beginning to understand the making of a mother. Mom Genes explores the hard science behind our tenderest maternal impulses, the ways a new mom's brain gets permanently rewired, whether mothers are destined to mimic their own moms, and how maternal aggression makes females the world's most formidable creatures. Part scientific odyssey, part "momoir," Mom Genes weaves the latest research together with the author's personal history to create a surprising and poignant portrait of motherhood. It's vital reading for anyone who has ever wondered what rocks the hand that rocks the cradle. Book jacket., From the New York Times bestselling author of The Lion in the Living Room comes a fascinating and provocative exploration of the biology of motherhood that "is witty, reassuring, and takes motherhood out of the footnotes and places it front and center--where it belongs" (Louann Brizendine, MD, New York Times bestselling author). Everyone knows how babies are made, but scientists are only just beginning to understand the making of a mother. Mom Genes reveals the hard science behind our tenderest maternal impulses, tackling questions such as why mothers are destined to mimic their own moms (or not), how maternal aggression makes females the world's most formidable creatures, and how a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic can make or break a mom. Weaving the latest research with Abigail Tucker's personal experiences, Mom Genes "is an eye-opening tour through the biology and psychology of a role that is at once utterly ordinary and wondrously strange" (Annie Murphy Paul, author of Origins ).
