Parts of this book are interesting, like the feminist and social history sections. Unfortunately the author really annoyed me with her over the top generalizations of different types of parenting approaches. She uses what I would characterize as "extreme" examples to make a point, when in reality the issues she talks about are much more complex and nuanced. I had to force myself to get 3/4 of the way through the book. Just couldn't finish it. Maybe her book describes a certain niche of parenting in her community in DC, but I just haven't found the mommy world to be so dramatic. I even follow what you would call "attachment parenting" and have found it to be nothing other than helpful and grounding as a parent. I definitely agree that our society does not support parents and mothers as they should- i.e. sub-par daycare services, maternity leave and flex hours, etc.
