Hardback. New. <p><b><i>'The most raw, funny and liberating look at what it is to be a woman.' – FEARNE COTTON</i><br /><br /><i>'Gritty, funny, poetic and freeing.' – ANNA MATHUR, Psychotherapist and bestselling author<br /></i></b><b><br />Can women have it all? <br />What does it mean to be a woman and a mother in the modern age?</b><br /><br />In this passionate, funny and fierce polemic, Paloma Faith delves deep into the<br />issues that face women today, from puberty and sexual awakenings, to battling<br />through the expectations of patriarchy and the Supermum myth.<br /><br />Infused with Paloma's characteristic humour, and raw honesty about the<br />challenges of IVF and the early years of motherhood, this book is a beautiful<br />celebration of women's work and the invisible load women carry. <br /><br />Moving from questions around identity and how motherhood impacts on that, to what it even<br />means to be a 'good mother', how we need to embrace messiness,<br />imperfection and the bitter sweet pleasures of being 'selfish' and putting<br />ourselves first.<br /><br />Paloma invites us into her own coming of age and relationship with her mum, to<br />explore how our bonds with our children evolve into adulthood. We see a<br />glimpse of the complexities and joys of Paloma's experience of juggling<br />romantic love, heartbreak and dating with the demands of motherhood.</p>
