The Mommy Myth-The Idealization of Motherhood and How It Has Undermined All Women by Susan Douglas; Meredith Michaels - February 1, 2005: The Idealization of Motherhood and How It Has Undermined All Women

All about REAL MOTHERHOOD! The back cover describes this must-read book well; "Taking readers on a provocative tour through thirty years of media images about mothers -- the superficial achievements of celebrity moms, the sensational coverage of dangerous day care, the media-manufactured "mommy wars" between working mothers and stay-at-home moms, and more -- The Mommy Myth contends that this "new momism" has been shaped by out-of-date mores, and that no matter how hard they try, women will never achieve it. In this must-read for every woman, Susan J. Douglas and Meredith W. Michaels shatter the myth of the perfect mom and all but shout, "We're not gonna take it anymore!" The Washington Post adds, "This is a book for mothers who can admit that they yell sometimes, feed their children processed food, and occasionally get bored playing Barbie camp-out under the dining room table… It's a book for mothers who would be okay with being imperfect, if only the rest of the world would stop pointing out their shortcomings."
