Why Have Kids?: A New Mom Explores the Truth About Parenting and Happiness by Jessica Valenti

3.0

An interesting discussion of the cultural, political and emotional issues facing American women during child-bearing years. This book increased my awareness of the struggles we face in deciding whether or not to have children and how to raise them if we do. The book made me feel reassured (other women feel like I do!), angry (how can they do this to us?) and frustrated (where are the solutions to these problems?), but it was definitely worth reading. I will be recommending this book to many of my friends.
