mommy wars - leslie morgan steiner (2006)

irritating anthology by a group of highly educated mothers about working or staying home.

practically every contributor is/has been a published writer or editor; upper middle class bunch with intact marriages and plenty of angst. the moms i know who work or stay home without the luxury of choice are not so conflicted.

the epiphany - that neither working nor staying home defines the good mother - negates the premise for the book.

content: 1/5
style: 4/5
