[Deirdre K]

the taboo idea that a child need his or her mother during the early years.

This book is pretty much a relic. An overly forceful answer from a position that seemed to be under attack. I am hopeful that modern feminism isn't perceived to be quite so anti-mother, as I am both feminist and mother.

It was actually really nice to read her stark contrast between what childbirth and parenting should be vs. what it was then. While the American dependency on medically intensive childbirth is still too invasive (see Naomi Wolf's Misconceptions - but only if you are not planning on delivering a baby in the next couple of months or it will terrify you), it has really come a long way in 30 years!
