All the Rage: Mothers, Fathers, and the Myth of Equal Partnership by Darcy Lockman
5.0
4.5/5 stars, rounded up
Very well-done look at how parenting (primarily in the USA) is divided unfairly along gendered lines and the various pressures on mothers and how that causes negative consequences for them but also the fathers. Good mix of studies (to get statistics that cut across demographics) and interviews to illustrate. A better way is out there, and we should be working towards it! (Lockman outlines what this looks like in places.)
