Motherhood: Feminism’s unfinished business

‘Why, after decades of social progress, is motherhood still so much harder than it needs to be?’ Before they become mothers, women are reminded that their biological clock is ticking. Once pregnant, women are patronised and forbidden from exercising their autonomy. In labour, women’s wishes are overridden, resulting in injuries. When the baby comes, women begin a life of pay cuts, heavier housework, heavy emotional loads, and judgement. Mothers are censured for every ‘choice’ they make and they rarely receive the support they need. In this subversive book, Eliane Glaser asks why mothers are idealised, yet treated so poorly, and what we need to do to improve the lives of mothers.
