About this product

Product Information

From one of the most important contemporary thinkers we have, a compelling, forceful tract about women and motherhood that demands immediate attention. Moving commandingly between pop cultural references such as Roald Dahl's 'Matilda' to observations about motherhood in the ancient world, from and thoughts about the stigmatization of single mothers in the UK, Mothers delivers a groundbreaking report into something so prevalent we hardly notice.

Overly intellectual and so not my cup of tea at all, but good premise
I found this book about mothers to be a tad intellectual for my tastes, and the fact that the author kept on repeating the myth that breastfeeding mothers derive semi erotic pleasure from breast feeding when she's never actually breastfed herself, and if she had, she know that the primary pleasure is the end to the pain of engorged breasts, and the pleasure of feeding your infant. She also concentrates her analysis of motherhood on ancient Greek myths and novels, which again, I can't relate to as a mother, although I agree with the over all premise that mothers are expected to be permanent paragons of virtue, which is impossible for all people, mothers being no exception. I was looking forward to reading this book having heard the author in an interview, where she came over has easily relatable, but sadly, that didn't transcribe to this book in my opinion.
