Items related to Maternal Desire: On Children, Love and the Inner Life
This is an important and exciting addition to the debate about children, love and the inner life. Does identifying and talking about maternal desire feed old notions about women's nature and justify restrictions of their rights? Or is it an opportunity to understand women more deeply? Maternal Desire shows that the iconic images of motherhood - from the sacrificial mother to the supermum - and the endless debates about what's best for children, obscure the profound meaning of mothering - and the desire to mother. Here is a book that gives a common voice to mothers and examines motherhood as an active and transforming experience.

Review:
'Has a book every taken you on a wild ride, the author burrowing inside your head, shading seemingly every interaction that you have, leaving you babbling to friends that you've got to read this, upending what you thought you knew about yourself, who you thought you were, what you thought you wanted? ... the book ruining me now is called Maternal Desire' ELLE 'De Marneffe's radical move is to urge women to think hard about what they themselves want or need from mothering, not just what their children want or need, and not what women's rights activists or right-wing politicians demand they want or need' ELLE
