Making Motherhood Work How Women Manage Careers and Caregiving Audible Audio Edition Caitlyn Collins Xe Sands HighBridge Company Books Reviews

• Immensely readable, beautifully timed and a very important book for forward-looking, forward-thinking women and men of all ages.
• It is a rare gem to find an academic book that is also a page-turner. This is truly one of those. Collins uncovers the conflicts surrounding norms of work and motherhood in a fascinating and rigorous comparative study. Highly recommended!
• I loved that the author drew on studies from several different countries and cultures to analyze what is possible, what works, and what doesn't in this evolving space. A compelling and readable narrative and logical structure to the book kept me anchored in the whole time.
• I didn't find this very helpful in terms of actionable insights. It was interesting and well researched though.
  As someone living in DC, which was featured in the book, it was very depressing.
  I was hoping there would be more “this is how I made it work stories”.
• This book is about white middle class moms, for white moms. I should have paid closer attention to the cover. There is no intersectional feminism here. The author has clearly never read any bell hooks, or just didn't understand it at all. In an interview with St. Louis Public Radio the author specifically said she ONLY interviewed middle class women for her book. I'm curious how many of them were also white.
• So beautifully written and engrossing, you can’t put it down. Incisive account of what it’s really like to mother and work in the US and across Europe. Intimate portraits that call for drastic political and cultural transformations in how we think about and support parenting.
• EYE OPENING! Fantastic insight on the work-family conflict mothers experience in a page turning study that shows how far behind the US is in policy and societal norms.
• Great combination of good writing and information on one of the most topical conversations of our time.
