The Myths of Motherhood: How Culture Reinvents the Good Mother | Shari Thurer
An irreverent and entertaining book for every mother who's been made to feel guilty or frazzled by society's impossible expectations. Analyzing data from the psychoanalyst's couch, Thurer wends her way from the Stone Age to the age of Hillary Clinton, painting a vivid picture of life for mothers and children in a time when their roles were constructed by men.
