What's so funny about the weddings, nannies, overscheduled
children, sex (or the lack thereof), the cult of the
“domestic goddess” and its manias for home decorating and
gourmet cooking, and the endless tension between working
moms and stay-at-home moms? Caitlin Flanagan knows, and she
offers it up in a fresh, witheringly funny take on women’s
lives today. Part social history, part social commentary, part personal
account of the author’s own relationship with her mother and
her children, TO HELL WITH ALL THAT is about the things that
interest Flanagan the most: women and children, households
and marriages. Presented as a series of essays, it follows
the natural course of women’s lives. Without offering a
prescription for happiness, it defines where Flanagan wants
to be: in a world where a woman is depended on, and
considered irreplaceable, by people who love her.
