A really cool and inspiring perspective! This book was a fascinating exploration.
Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.
As a woman who has never really considered being a stay-at-home mom, for sanity reasons, this book provides a lot of insight and encouragement for working mothers.
The book addresses how successful women in the public eye feel compelled to always claim to put motherhood before their own careers and ambitions because otherwise, they will get judged and shamed. This is not the case for men who are fathers as their primary role is breadwinner, not caregiver.
The author uses real women as examples to illustrate her points, including the pressure women have to get married, have children, and treat motherhood as their primary role. Although these anecdotes were valuable in demonstrating her points, there were many extraneous details about these women's lives that could have been pared down.
