THE MASK OF MOTHERHOOD How Mothering Changes Everything and Why We Pretend it Doesn't
When a woman becomes a mother, her relationships, her professional identity and her sense of self, will never be the same again. The fact is, the presence of children does not simply add to the lives of their parents, it transforms those lives completely. The precise nature of this transformation remains one of the best kept secrets of contemporary adult life, shrouded in a conspiracy of silence. For expectant mothers . . . whether that expectation is imminentor distant - The Mask of Motherhood provides a backstage look at realities of contemporary mothering, from pregnancy and childbirth to the juggling act we all call 'working motherhood'. For women on the other side of the Great Divide of parenting . . especially those currently involved in mothering young chidlren, this book offers the comfort that comes from learning one is not alone. That the fears, frustrations and confusions of early motherhood are not evidence of personal failure, but of a host of unworkably structures, extravagant expectations and conflicting demands.
