I'm struggling with this one. I was nodding along and cheering for the first half. The chapter on the pandemic went really broad, and lost focus. I did not sign up for yet another general treatise on the effects of the pandemic on everyone, death statistics, learning losses, etc. The focus of this book was supposed to be on moms. Then, after an entire book dedicated to the need to take stress off the shoulders of mothers, we're treated to an entire chapter lauding the successes of several women who made serious accomplishments *despite* the pandemic. I skipped most of that chapter. I would have thrown this at the wall if it hadn't been an audiobook.
