<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER THAT CHANGED AMERICA'S VIEW OF MOTHERHOOD <p/>In the pathbreaking tradition of <i>Backlash</i> and <i>The Second Shift</i>, this provocative book shows how mothers are systematically disadvantaged and made dependent by a society that exploits those who perform its most critical work. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and research in economics, history, child development, and law, Ann Crittenden proves definitively that although women have been liberated, mothers have not. <p/>Bold, galvanizing, and full of innovative solutions, <i>The Price of Motherhood</i> was listed by the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> as one of the Top Ten Feminist Literary Works since the publication of Betty Friedan's <i>Feminine Mystique</i>. This bracing call to arms (Elle) offers a much-needed accounting of the price that mothers pay for performing the most important job in the world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A landmark book." --<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i> <p/>"Powerful and important . . .

Crittenden turns out a fresh, persuasive argument. Sure to inspire vigorous debate." --<i>Megan Rutherford, Time</i> <p/>"Fascinating . . . shows how women have been consistently denied social and, more important, monetary equality for raising their families." --<i>Susan Straight, Los Angeles Times</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Ann Crittenden is the author of Killing the Sacred Cows: Bold Ideas for a New Economy.
