Summary:
"In an era of mommy blogs, Pinterest, and Facebook, The
Good
Mother
Myth
dismantles the social media-fed notion of what it means to be a "
good
mother
." This collection of essays takes a realistic look at
motherhood
and provides a platform for real voices and raw stories, each adding to the narrative of
motherhood
we don't tend to see in the headlines or on the news. From tales of mind-bending, panic-inducing overwhelm to a reflection on using weed instead of wine to deal with the terrible twos, the honesty of the essays creates a community of mothers who refuse to feel like they're in competition with others, or with the notion of the ideal mom--they're just trying to find a way to make it work. With a foreword by Christy Turlington Burns and a contributor list that includes Jessica Valenti, Sharon Lerner, Soraya Chemaly, Amber Dusick, and many more, this remarkable collection seeks to debunk the
myth
and offer honest perspectives on what it means to be a
mother
