The 21st Century Motherhood Movement: Mothers Speak Out on Why We Need to Change the World and How To Do It comes out this month. You can buy it from here. The book is edited by Andrea O’Reilly and it is an amazing piece of work. Andrea is a dynamo!
Anne Crittenden, the author of The Price of Motherhood: Why the Most Important Job in the World is Still the Least Valued (seriously one of the most incredible books ever written about motherhood), has said this about the Motherhood Movement book:
This rich anthology documents the modern mother’s movement in all its diversity. It is must reading for anyone interested in the explosion of activism aimed at the empowerment of women as mothers. Mamazons, outlaw mothers, strategic essentialists, on-line pragmatists, lesbian theorists, and more than 80 organizations representing every class, creed and color of mother – they are all here. If you want clear picture of 21st century matrocentric feminism, look no further – this is it.
I have a chapter in the book, too. Yes, I’m crazy proud of that fact.
I have a chapter in the book, too.
I’m thrilled for you. Congratulations!
That’s amazing! Congratulations. Definitely on my list of must reads.
Awesome! So fabulous that you’ve contributed. I wish I’d known about Andrea’s work when I applied to grad school. I would have loved to study with her!
Yay!!!! Way to go.
You should totally be proud.
Plus, I kind of expect you to write your own book one day. This gives you a taster.
Hey! Congratulations! That’s fabulous. Really, truly brilliant.
Oh I do hope your nearest and dearest have engaged in a Happy Dance for the occasion. With Jazz Hands.
Awesome! I’m looking forward to reading what you (and others) have to say!
Very exciting! Can’t wait to read it. Will there be a trade version at a slightly lower price point?
For a limited time you can buy the book at a 20% discount, I believe, and if you order 5 or more copies you get a 50% discount. The publisher’s website has all the details.
…and my reading list gets one book longer. If only I hadn’t misplaced my attention span when I had children.
Awesome! Good for you!

Wow! Not sure what else to say but wow!
Congratulations! And thanks for writing awesomeness for everybody to read.
Perhaps an odd point, but … I organize my to-read list on Goodreads, and I can’t find this book there. Should/could the editor or publisher make it appear? I’m probably not the only one …
