BOLLEN, Alex
Motherdom: Breaking Free from Bad Science and Good Mother Myths

Good Mother myths find mothers at fault whatever they do. Alex Bollen proposes ‘motherdom’, a new way to live. Motherdom values and respects the different ways people raise their children, shifting our focus from mother blame to the relationships and resources children need to flourish.

“I have written Motherdom because I am completely and utterly fed up with all the guilt-inducing garbage which is peddled about motherhood.”
