new good book alert

April 12, 2005 | Filed Under Blog |

My friend Miriam Peskowitz’ book just came out, and it is so very important and worthwhile and creamy goodness that you should all go out and buy a copy for yourself and maybe one as a Mother’s Day gift. It’s called The Truth Behind the “Mommy Wars”: Who Decides What Makes a Good Mother? and it’s about the myth that there are working mothers and stay-at-home mothers–she talks a lot about the part-time workforce, and the way that work and parenting is constructed in corporate America. Ass-kicking goodness.

She also has her own blog, which you can check here.

That is all.

  4. Hey thanks Danya. I have been making my way thru “Mommy War” books. I just reviewed one for BUST that I really disliked. (Also, “The Mommy Myth” disappointed me greatly.)

    This one is on my list. I won’t even wait for paperback since it’s got your endorsement. Thanks!

    P.S. I send love to you.
