Are YOU Mom enough?

Why are we so obsessed with Motherhood?

How do you think popular culture feeds both the motherhood obsession and the idea of perfection?

Which of these essays were closest to and farthest from your own experience?

And what essays might I be asking about? Those found in the new book The M Word: Conversations about Motherhood, which features a collection of essays on contemporary motherhood by Saleema Nawaz, Alison Pick, Nancy Jo Cullen, Carrie Snyder, and many others, assembled by Kerry Clare. The book is available now in paperback for $22.95.
