You don‘t need to want to be a mother or have children, to be the target audience for this. This is for everyone and is so eye opening
pickAs I‘ve mentioned a few times I‘m not a mother and never wanted to be, but this book is eye opening. This is not just a book for women how want to be mothers or who are, this is for everyone, people like me, fathers and how else you define yourself
This book shows what a transformative experience pregnancy, giving birth and being a mother is, and how Western ideals about motherhood are isolating mothers in a time of their life when their most
pick“Insipid/idealistic portrayals of motherhood made me less interested in it as a young person. I thought it was boring when it‘s one of the most extreme socio-political experiences I have ever been through.”
All the stars for this book ✨ becoming a mother changes us physically and mentally and Jones details this using research from neuroscience, existential therapy, ecology, sociology etc. as well as drawing from her own experiences.
