I Don't Know How She Does It
In a novel that is at once uproariously funny and achingly sad, Allison Pearson captures the guilty secret lives of working women-the self-recrimination, the comic deceptions, the giddy exhaustion, the despair-as no other writer has. Kate Reddy's conflict --How are we meant to pass our days? How are we to reconcile the two passions, work and motherhood, that divide our lives? --gets at the private absurdities of working motherhood as only a novel could: with humor, drama, and bracing wisdom.
The first ever on the topic, this Encyclopedia of Motherhood helps to both demarcate motherhood as a scholarly field and an academic discipline and to direct its future development. With more than 700 entries, these three volumes provide information on the central terms, concepts, topics, issues, themes, debates, theories, and texts of this new discipline. Further, the encyclopedia examines the topic of motherhood in various contexts such as history and geography and by academic discipline.
Dangerous Motherhood: Insanity and Childbirth in Victorian Britain
Dangerous Motherhood is the first study of the close and complex relationship between mental disorder and childbirth. Exploring the relationship between women, their families and their doctors reveals how explanations for the onset of puerperal insanity were drawn from a broad set of moral, social and environmental frameworks, rather than being bound to ideas that women as a whole were likely to be vulnerable to mental illness.
Motherhood without Guilt uses a question-and-answer format to address all the issues that cause a mother to feel bad about her mothering, and shows how to: € Reconcile working vs. staying at home € Be emotionally available to your kids in just the right way € Take good care of yourself, too € Create partnership in parenting with your husband € Nurture friendships and get support from others
Academy Award-winning director Richard Attenborough narrates Diana, Queen of Hearts, a tribute to the Princess of Wales, who was tragically killed in an auto accident in August 1997. From her childhood days, when she was a schoolyard mischief-maker, to her years as a fashionable London "Sloane Ranger" to her wedding and motherhood years, Diana is presented through video clippings, photographs, and interviews with those who knew her best.
