Mothers make history. But what it has meant for mothers to do the physical and emotional work of mothering has, for centuries, been neglected in the stories of the past. Patriarchal control of motherhood has relegated the acts of growing, birthing, nurturing, and loving to the sidelines, and deemed it unimportant, women's work. Now, through the voices of women themselves, Elinor Cleghorn reclaims and retells the history of motherhood, showcasing the mothers, othermothers, midwives, activists, community leaders, and more who have shaped the course of history.

It’s been over a decade since Jowita Bydlowska published her bestselling lightning rod of a memoir on overcoming alcohol addiction as a young mother. Both hailed and criticized for its no-holds-barred transparency, Drunk Mom was—and continues to be—refreshing and revelatory in its gritty exploration of addiction and relapse in the context of new parenthood, specifically from the experience of a woman. But what happens after the last page is turned, after the “happy ending” of an addiction the world assumes is safely in the rearview?

Jusqu'à récemment, les scientifiques se sont contentés d'étudier la norme mâle et nous ont livré ainsi moins de la moitié de l'histoire de l'évolution. Cette immense zone d'ombre ne relève pas seulement du sexisme ou d'un problème intellectuel : c'est un sujet de société et de santé publique, puisque, du fait de notre méconnaissance des corps biologiquement femelles, nous savons moins bien soigner les femmes que les hommes. On ne pouvait pas en rester là.

It charts the societal revolution taking place among mid-life women and older, where traditional norms are being dismantled in order to reclaim a fundamental part of themselves.

Daughters often grow up believing their role in the family is simple: love your parents, help out when you can, and carry on the traditions that bind you together. But adulthood reveals a more complicated reality. So, what is “daughtering”? If you’re a woman and you’ve ever dreaded a weekly phone call to your mother or planned a multi-generational family vacation or considered everyone’s dietary needs at Thanksgiving (including your vegan cousin), then you are daughtering.

Bossy. Frigid. Spinster. Sl*t. Mumsy. Milf. Bimbo. The English language has a seemingly infinite number of judgemental and hypocritical words to describe women and their life choices. We can't win, no matter what we do. In Bimbo, Ashley unpacks the labels that box women in, and the systems that keep them there. From 'bossy' little girls, 'tarty' teens, to mothers who 'let themselves go', and 'left-on-the-shelf' single women, Ashley dissects the systems that try to confine us and asks: what if we broke free?
