Misconceptions
Truth, Lies, and the Unexpected on the Journey to Motherhood
From bestselling author Naomi Wolf, this book will make you cringe, laugh and cry all at the same time.
From the back cover:
"...she demythologizes motherhood and revelas the dangers of common assumptions about childbirth. With uncompromising honesty she describes how hormones eroded her sense of independence, ultrasounds tested her commitment to abortion rights, and the keepers of the OB/GYN establishment lacked compassion. The weeks after her daughter's birth taught her how society, employers, and even husbands can manipulate new mothers. She had bewildering postpartum depression, but learned that a surprisingly high percentage of women experience it.
....Indispensable for parents, Misconceptions speaks to anyone connected - personally, medically or professionally - to a new mother."
