Publisher's Note
A groundbreaking examination of the historical myth of motherhood looks at how different cultures have viewed motherhood, showing how our current idea of the "good mother" reflects a reaction to burgeoning women's rights.

Industry Reviews
"Any mother who has ever questioned her role or her fitness for it is in for a refreshing, eye-opening look at the history of motherhood."
San Francisco Chronicle

"A positive, sensible, and readable history directed to women in the throes of the experience."
New York Times Book Review
