Inhaltsangabe

"Books on motherhood make me wary -- the doctrines, the camps, the divisions! But The M Word is different. It invites you in, insists that you listen, and provokes you to speak out and speak up. A lively, provocative, engaging, and moving conversation with those committed to mothering, those committed to not mothering, those conflicted by mothering, and those who wonder what mothering means, anyway. In other words, all of us." -- Miranda Hill, author of Sleeping Funny

"The M Word offers an intelligent conversation about motherhood, providing a variety of perspectives on what it means to become a mother (or not). The book is honest and inclusive. Every woman will find her experience reflected somewhere in these stories." -- Ann Douglas, author of The Mother of All Pregnancy Books

"Two years ago I was catapulted into motherhood. I thought I had some sense of what lay ahead -- I didn't. I wish I had The M Word then and am so glad to read it now. Wickedly smart, anti-conformist, funny, and moving, these essays ask the big questions about how we see and define ourselves as mothers." -- Emily Schultz, author of The Blondes

Von der hinteren Coverseite

For this original, often provocative book, Kerry Clare has assembled essays that face down motherhood from the other side of the picket fence by some of Canada's finest young writers. There are women who have had too many children or not enough. There are women for whom motherhood is a fork in the road. And there are those who have made the conscious choice not to have children and then find themselves defined by that decision.

The M Word: it means something to every woman. Exactly what it means is rarely simple.
