A provocative and intimate exploration of modern
parenthood by “a gutsy young third wave feminist” – The
New York Times If parenting is making Americans unhappy, if it’s impossible
to “have it all,” if people don’t have the economic, social,
or political structures needed to support parenting, then
why do it? And why are anxious new parents flocking to every
Tiger Mother and Bébé-raiser for advice on how to raise kids? In Why Have Kids?, Valenti explores these
controversial questions through on-the-ground reporting,
startling new research, and her own unique experiences as a
mom. She moves beyond the black and white “mommy wars” over
natural parenting, discipline, and work-life balance to
explore a more nuanced reality: one filled with ambivalence,
joy, guilt, and exhaustion. A must read for parents as well
as those considering starting a family, Why Have
Kids? is an explosive addition to the conversation
about modern parenthood.
