The book has a good premise that should be talked about, but readers have to keep in mind that all of the women interviewed are from Israel, so their view on parenting is not nearly the same experience as that of mothers around the developed world due to hardships of culture, war, and poverty.

read this book as part of research for essays I’m writing. Despite the limitations of this study, I found it insightful. I reflected on my own relationship with motherhood and mothering because of this book

Such an insightful read. Love women speaking up about topics society would rather they shut up about.

Interesting study. I like the point that it’s not  necessarily motherhood vs. career. 

Some tangents are very random. What is Judith Butler doing here lol

what is says on the tin. a sociological study/anthology of mothers regretting motherhood and the nuances of it. solid read with a good amount of sources while still being fairly accessible
