About the Book
From a Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist comes a refreshing look at women and the Mommy wars. Beneath the surface, Parker is a woman on the verge of a breakdown trying to navigate the complex waters of being a woman in the modern world.Book Synopsis
Black women have been balancing the competing demands of work and home since before women even won the right to vote. But black voices are barely acknowledged in the mainstream "mommy wars" dialogue. Lonnae O'Neal Parker is determined to change that, in this uncommonly smart, highly acclaimed, and often witty examination--part memoir, part reportage--of how today's black women meet the challenges of marriage, motherhood, and work.
