The Mother Puzzle
"This brave and important book gives voice to the ambivalence that plagues women today as they confront the contradictions of modern mothering. The Mother Puzzle tackles the difficult questions: Has new medical technology liberated our reproductive choices or trapped us with too many options? If a woman has modeled her professional life on her father, how can she envision herself as a mother?

What happens to our egalitarian marriages as we move from being partners to being parents?" "The generation now embarking upon motherhood is unique. Many women have gro...
