Mother Voices

Over 100 women from all over the U.S. and from many walks of life contributed original essays to this collection that explores the journey of motherhood. Mother Voices is unusual in several ways: first, it sheds light on women's experience of motherhood as they adjust their identities, life, styles, and expectations. Second, the mothers who contributed to this book have something to contribute to every phase of motherhood -- far beyond the infant/toddler years. Third, there is little romanticism, and even less complaining. The simple act of sharing the realities of the motherhood experience supports all women in this most rewarding and most challenging of all life roles.
