Roxanne (13 KP) rated The Mother's Tale in Books

<i>All mothers love their children, don't they?</i>

I read this book as a new mother, I knew it was going to be tough and I knew it was going to be disturbing. Perhaps I did underestimate it though as this was one of the most disturbing books I have ever read. I was absolutely hooked and couldn't put this book down. I adore books that have a strong emotional impact on me and this just left me totally shook. What this mother was willing to do to get her 'freedom' back was bone-chilling.

Kim Gordon recommended Mother Daughter Revolution in Books (curated)

"It’s about how feminism fails to address the relationship between mothers and daughters because of its emphasis on escaping the house. I didn’t finish it—who has the time or the energy to read when you’re a new mom?—but I remember how the book talked about the pressure to please and be perfect that every woman falls into and then projects onto her daughter. Nothing is ever good enough. No woman can ever outrun what she has to do. No one can be all things—a mother, a good partner, a lover, as well as a competitor in the workplace."
