このコンテンツについて
Tsukasa in Japan grapples with memories of a difficult childhood as she tries to chart a new, healthier path for her own daughter while balancing onerous cultural expectations. Chelsea in Kenya endures a devastating loss just before she gives birth and finds that without the traditional support of previous generations, motherhood can be grueling – but it can also provide emotional healing. Anna in Finland navigates a complicated relationship with her child’s father, but the country’s robust family policies allow her to still pursue the kind of parenthood that she envisioned. Sarah in the US leaves the religious community that raised her in order to create a less traditional family of her own only to find she’s largely confronting motherhood alone.
Utterly moving and propulsively readable from page one, Leonard interweaves these stories with a critically researched exploration of how parental support programs evolved in each country—and why some provide more help than others. As nations around the world debate programs like paid leave, universal daycare, reproductive healthcare, and family tax incentives, Four Mothers offers a uniquely intimate, moving portrait of what those policies mean for parents on the ground—and considers what modern families really want.
批評家のレビュー
“With all the gifts of a novelist, reporter Abigail Leonard chronicles the lives of women around the world during their first year of motherhood, to make you feel their joy, their fear, their exhaustion, and their fierce love for their children. This is real motherhood on the page, bolstered by rigorous research to explain why our current systems have failed families and offer insights for a brighter future.”—Jo Piazza, bestselling author of How to Be Married
"Abigail Leonard's Four Mothers is the exquisitely reported and intensely readable story of how women from four corners of the world navigate early parenthood. Despite vastly different social systems and relationships, the strains and joys of motherhood are similar across cultures and familiar to anyone who is a parent. Leonard paints compelling portraits of each woman, her partner and her world, and I needed to know how everything would turn out. Once I started Four Mothers I could not put it down." —Darcy Lockman, author of All the Rage
