Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom
Nancy Reddy
Nancy Reddy's "The Good Mother Myth" explores the flawed science behind societal expectations of motherhood. It blends personal memoir with historical and cultural criticism, examining mid-20th-century research that continues to shape our understanding of parenting. Reddy critiques the work of influential figures like Harry Harlow and Dr. Spock, revealing biases and misinterpretations that have negatively impacted mothers. The book challenges the idealized image of the 'good mother,' advocating for a more realistic and supportive approach to parenting. Ultimately, it promotes a shift towards community-based care and a rejection of the isolating pressures of modern motherhood.
