Following on from the success of Men Explain Things to Me comes a new collection of essays in which Rebecca Solnit opens up a feminism for all of us: one that doesn't stigmatize women's lives, whether they include spouses and children or not; that brings empathy to the silences in men's lives as well as the silencing of women's lives; celebrates the ways feminism has shifted in recent years to reclaim rape jokes, revise canons, and rethink our everyday lives.

In an era of mommy blogs, Pinterest, and Facebook, The Good Mother Myth dismantles the social media–fed notion of what it means to be a “good mother.” This collection of essays takes a realistic look at motherhood and provides a platform for real voices and raw stories, each adding to the narrative of motherhood we don’t tend to see in the headlines or on the news. From tales of mind-bending, panic-inducing overwhelm to a reflection on using weed instead of wine to deal with the terrible twos, the honesty of the essays creates a community of mothers who refuse to feel like they’re in competition with others, or with the notion of the ideal mom—they’re just trying to find a way to make it work. With a foreword by Christy Turlington Burns and a contributor list that includes Jessica Valenti, Sharon Lerner, Soraya Chemaly, Amber Dusick, and many more, this remarkable collection seeks to debunk the myth and offer honest perspectives on what it means to be a mother.

Zen and the art of raising children to make peace in the world . . . In this wise and insightful volume, Charlotte Kasl applies her signature blend of spiritual guidelines, exercises, and practical advice to a stage of life that leaves many of us searching for answers. If the Buddha Had Kids draws from Buddhist, Quaker, and other spiritual traditions to help parents raise children who value cooperation, compassion, and understanding, emphasizing that finding peace within a family is the first step toward creating a peaceful world. Beginning with creating a healthy bond with your child and moving through all stages of life, encouraging empathy, respect, fascination, and curiosity, Kasl explores the spiritual journey of parenting. She also draws on her decades of experience as a healer and practicing psychotherapist to tackle very practical concerns such as the roles of electronics, money, sexuality, and education, and what it means to find one’s voice. This lively book promises to bring inspiration, humor, and wisdom to the joys and struggles of raising children in our contemporary world, and will serve as an enlightening companion for all moms and dads.

With the baby boom generation came the genre of parenting books that told parents how to teach their kids everything from toilet training to developing self-esteem. Generally the message has been: go easy on your child, but hard on yourself. It is starting to become apparent, especially in the best of families, that giving your kids lots of choices, validating their feelings at great peril to your own and providing "enough" individual attention for each child is creating a generation of kids over whom we have no control. Cassidy argues that this comes from over-thinking our role as parents. We've pondered every step so much that the juice, the joy, and worst of all, our confidence is gone. The reasons are clear: We have fewer children later in life so we've had more time to ponder. We've grown up just as research on infant and child development has come of age, so there's no shortage of material to think about. As a generation we've prided ourselves on self-improvement and we bring the same zeal to child improvement. We're less likely to live close to our families, and so are more likely to seek out expert solutions. To counter this thinking, Cassidy will suggest keeping the big picture in mind--what kind of people do you really want your kids to be? Honest, kind, cooperative, empathetic? It may mean losing sight of whether enough play dates are scheduled for the week and if you've positively reinforced the latest creative endeavor, but it will bring back your instincts about what is important to your family as a whole, and to your kids to become decent people.

The Book Every Mother Needs! As mothers, we live life thinking that that's our only title. We simply don't recognise how INDISPENSIBLE we are. We make sure that everything is taken care of at home and beyond! Priceless Roles of a Mother is an inspirational memoir and handbook, intertwined with humour. It comes from voices of mothers from all walks of life and aims to help you: regain your feminine strength and true worth reclaim your value and the gift of 'motherhood' raise awareness to honour your contribution in life revamp your roles into a hobby, business or profession Margaret V Aberdeen shares her own heart-wrenching story, which includes the survival of an abusive relationship, the tragic loss of a second child, homelessness and life threatening cancer. It is an extension of her poem 'A Mother' written due to the void felt from missing her first son, and the need to let the world know that mothers should be praised and celebrated not only on Mother's Day! Margaret courageously makes herself vulnerable to you by revisiting some of her darkest moments. This is an inspiring read and an invaluable resource for all mothers! What others are saying about this book: 'There's a saying: don't judge people before stepping into their shoes. The same goes for this book. The cover can't tell the whole story. You've got to open the book, read and you may find this book brings to light the limitless roles, achievements and values of "motherhood." They are all the things I wish I had known before becoming a mother, and I am sure even my mother and my grandmother would have felt the same.' Edith Huntington, Women Links 'While there are a lot of books out there aimed at the first time mother, which can bombard women with a variety of sometimes confusing messages, Priceless Roles of a Mother has a more refreshing and attractive viewpoint, which is to celebrate ourselves for what we achieve as mothers, rather than concentrate on how we could be doing it differently.' Debra Duncan, Life Living Experiences 'If you are a woman who is a mother or expecting to be a mother, I suggest you buy this book, read it and then pass it on to all mothers, and also to all male gender that crosses your path. It contains vital information everyone should know. Though I think I have been a good mother with my ability, capability and resources. I am sure if I had known all this, I would have been a better mother.' Cynthia Tyler, Women Rising 'I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Priceless Roles of a Mother and to have learned the valuable multiple professional skills we obtained in motherhood. It's a moving, interesting and uplifting read. I felt supported in my own personal journey as a mother, and I know many women will benefit from it.' Patricia Hill 'There are a plethora of books out there aimed at new mothers, offering tips and advice on everything from how to feed your child, to how to plan the best birthday parties. Priceless Roles of a Mother however, targets women at the other end of their mothering - those whose children have recently, or are about to leave the nest. This perspective is one that is often overlooked.' Judy Pendington
