"A beautifully written narrative woven together with great skill by the authors , which respects women's stories whilst illuminating them by the judicious use of feminist theory. " Valerie Hey, University of Sussex
"This is a timely and fascinating sociological study of motherhood in contemporary Britain. Drawing on a rich and diverse body of ethnographic data, it makes a singular contribution to a new generation of scholarly research on motherhood, and will impact on wider public and policy debates about the longstanding and new challenges faced by mothers today." Imogen Tyler, Lancaster University
