Disorientating, overwhelming, intense on every level, it can leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about yourself. Yet despite more women speaking out in recent years about the reality of their experiences - good, bad and in between - all too often it's the same stories getting told, while key parts of the maternal experience still remain unspeakable and unseen. There are a million different ways to be a mother, yet the vision we see in books, on screen and online overwhelmingly fails to represent this commonplace yet extraordinary experience for most of us. It's time to broaden the conversation. The Best, Most Awful Job is a deeply personal collection about motherhood in all its raw, heart-wrenching, gloriously impossible forms. Overturning assumptions, breaking down myths, shattering stereotypes, it will challenge perceptions of what it means to be a mother. Pulsating with energy and emotion, The Best, Most Awful Job brings together a diverse range of bold and brilliant writers and asks you to listen. 650 0 $a Motherhood. 700 1 $a May, Katherine, $e editor. 941 $a 2 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20220901010908.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210910010152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=629DA0B811FC11EC8B377C2451ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
