Our books share much common ground but each has a distinct focus. #Motherdom exposes how mothers today are set up to fail when it comes to birth, feeding & child development. Nancy weaves together intellectual history & experiences of early motherhood, while Hannah explores motherhood & technology

Thrilled that #Motherdom has been reviewed in @washingtonpost.com along with brilliant books by Nancy Reddy and @hzeavin.bsky.social also taking on the pseudoscience and unforgiving cultural norms afflicting mothers @versobooks.bsky.social

Want to hear about the politics & history of mother blaming? Come to @blackwelloxford.bsky.social on Thursday 10 April at 5.30pm - I'll be talking about my book #Motherdom and why Good Mother myths harm all women @versobooks.bsky.social

Thank you @bookhaus.bsky.social for a brilliant event last night launching #motherdom. Loved the wide-ranging discussion which covered everything from baby toys to the abolition of the family
