Misconceptions: Truth, Lies and the Unexpected on the Journey to Motherhood

by Naomi Wolf
RM34.00 MYR
Misconceptions: Truth, Lies and the Unexpected on the Journey to Motherhood
Misconceptions: Truth, Lies and the Unexpected on the Journey to Motherhood

Challenging pregnancy stereotypes; empowering maternal narratives.

"Misconceptions" might resonate with you if you’ve felt the tug-of-war between your personal experience of pregnancy and society's pervasive narratives. Naomi Wolf doesn't just recount tales; she digs deep into the cultural paradigms that shape and sometimes distort motherhood. It's a thought-provoking read that validates the unique experiences women face and could be a compelling companion on your own journey or as a way to understand others'.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Every year, millions of women have their lives turned inside out by the experience of pregnancy. A contemporary woman finds herself caught in an absurd situation while in the grip of one of the most primal, lonely, sensual, and, in some ways, psychologically debilitating and physically dangerous experiences. She is overwhelmed by invasive, trivialising, and infantilising cultural messages about what is happening to her - and who really owns the experience.
