Why Have Kids?: A New Mom Explores the Truth about Parenting and Happiness - Paperback
by Jessica Valenti (Author)
A provocative and intimate exploration of modern parenthood from a writer named "a gutsy young third-wave feminist" by the New York Times.
If parenting is making Americans unhappy, if it's impossible to "have it all," if people don't have the economic, social, or political structures needed to support parenting, then why do it?
In Why Have Kids?, Valenti explores these controversial questions through on-the-ground reporting, startling new research, and her own unique experiences as a mom. She moves beyond the black and white "mommy wars" over natural parenting, discipline, and work-life balance to explore a more nuanced reality: one filled with ambivalence, joy, guilt, and exhaustion. A must-read for parents as well as those considering starting a family, Why Have Kids? is an explosive addition to the conversation about modern parenthood.
