Prominent voices debunk the destructive myth of ‘motherhood’
Mothers have never had the privileges that they have today. This is what women who are considering whether to have a child are told. But the reality is different – crumbling structures in care, education and health care, persistently difficult prospects on the labour market, and it is still the case that no one does care work as often as women.
In this book, prominent and other important voices call for everyone to speak up. Mothers from business and politics, from sports, culture and social media. Single mothers, women who started companies after the birth of their children, mothers who care for others – and men who demand more solidarity.
‘Far too little scrutiny is given to how parents, how mothers actually manage it.‘ Magdalena Neuner
‘If you really want to understand a society, the best way to do it is to look at how it treats its children, their mothers and those in need of care.’ Fernanda Brandão
