At 28, Stephanie Land's dreams of attending a university and becoming a writer quickly dissolved when a summer fling turned into an unplanned pregnancy. Before long, she found herself a single mother, scraping by as a housekeeper to make ends meet. Maid is an emotionally raw, masterful account of Stephanie's years spent in service to upper-middle-class America as a "nameless ghost" who quietly shared in her clients' triumphs, tragedies, and deepest secrets.

In Forget "Having It All", Westervelt traces the roots of our modern expectations of mothers and motherhood back to extremist ideas held by the first Puritans who attempted to colonize America and examines how those ideals shifted - or didn't - through every generation since.

Changing Stations in Male Restrooms
Revisado: 12-27-18
We can’t expect men to take on a more active role in our families when we set up situations where they can’t. Amy’s book is well-written and researched. One of my biggest pet peeves and something that can be so easily remedied, as she discusses in her book, is to put changing stations in men’s restrooms. This is just one of the hundreds of examples that we (both men and women) don’t do ourselves any favors. We have a long way to go, but some of these things are low-hanging fruit that we can start implementing today and would have ripple effects for years to come.
