Reviews

‘Bacchi’s account has significant cultural meaning in that it draws attention to the wider culture of oppression and undervaluing of motherhood in contemporary society.’ 

–Sheree Gregory, Post Graduate Review

'It’s time to speak truthfully about the realities of parenting. Carol Bacchi’s candid and moving account of early motherhood reveals how lonely and harrowing it can be when things don’t go as expected. Her endurance, courage and unfailing tenderness will console and encourage mothers everywhere.’ 

–Dr Lisa Hill, Research Fellow, University of Adelaide

‘Amid the current flurry of public soul-searching about work, family, parental leave and childcare, Carol Bacchi tells the struggles of motherhood from the inside.’ 

–Marion Maddox, Victoria University
