A memoir culminating in a manifesto, Holding the Baby sets out to understand why we still treat early parenthood as an individual slog rather than a shared cultural responsibility. Tracing her own journey to the nadir of sleeplessness via social retreat and murderous rage, Frizzell draws on the latest research to explore: What effect does parenting have on your career? How can we make childcare affordable and fit for purpose? If parenting is so hard, why does anyone ever do it more than once?

Hat deine Ur-Ur-Uroma eigentlich schon an Sex gedacht? Klar, denn sonst wärst du heute wahrscheinlich nicht hier! Sicher hat sie anders geflirtet als die heutige Jugend. Aber die Menschen waren früher längst nicht so prüde, wie wir manchmal denken. Liebe, Sex und nackte Körper gab es schon immer. Aber wie darüber gesprochen, gemalt und geurteilt wurde, das verändert sich im Lauf der Geschichte immer wieder. Die Ethnologin Elin Hägg nimmt uns mit auf eine erstaunliche Reise durch die (abendländische) Geschichte der Ideen, Religionen und Machtverhältnisse – immer in Bezug auf deren Auswirkungen auf das Sexleben.

Über 15 Millionen Mal wurden Kinder in der BRD und der DDR seit 1945 zur Kur geschickt. Für viele von ihnen waren diese Wochen prägend – und doch haben sie kaum darüber geredet. Dieses Buch erzählt die wenig bekannte Geschichte der deutschen Verschickungskinder.

Sie veröffentlicht eine erste Recherche über Kinderkuren und löst damit eine Lawine aus: Menschen von überall melden sich und erzählen von eigenen Erfahrungen.

Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, Redlined exposes the racist lending rules that refuse mortgages to anyone in areas with even one black resident.

Our culture tells parents there's one best way to raise kids: enroll them in a dozen activities, protect them from trauma, and get them into the most expensive college you can. If you can't do that, don't bother. How is that going? Record rates of anxiety, depression, medication, debts, loneliness and more. In Family Unfriendly, bestselling author and Washington Examiner columnist Timothy P. Carney says it's time to end this failed experiment in overparenting.

David Goodhart asks whether this transformation has been an unalloyed good. Increased opportunities for women, greater freedom and autonomy, and a more equal domestic sphere have brought considerable benefits. However, argues Goodhart, there have been losses as well as gains: liberal trends have produced negative consequences in family breakdown, children's mental health, and the undervaluing of care. Falling birthrates also present major demographic and social challenges.

In una società in cui si sono dissolte le strutture tradizionali della parentela e della famiglia, uomini e donne si trovano costretti a darsi individualmente le regole della loro vita: ciascuno è il giudice delle proprie trasgressioni, il prete che assolve i propri peccati e il terapeuta che indaga e cura le ferite del proprio passato. La lotta per conciliare famiglia e carriera, amore e matrimonio, e per una "nuova" genitorialità ha oggi sostituito la lotta "di classe".

Celebrities are photographed nursing in public, yet breastfeeding mothers are asked to cover up in malls and on airplanes. Breastfeeding is a private act, yet everyone has an opinion about it. How did feeding our babies get so complicated? Journalist and infant health advocate Kimberly Seals Allers breaks breastfeeding out of the realm of "personal choice" and shows our broader connection to an industrialized food system that begins at birth, the fallout of feminist ideals, and the federal policies that are far from family friendly.

Success and wealth often seem like distant aspirations, achievable only through extraordinary effort and luck. However, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that success and wealth are not merely products of individual endeavors but are deeply intertwined with the environments in which individuals are raised. This book explores the mechanisms through which successful family environments foster achievement and prosperity across generations.

È un compito difficile, o addirittura "impossibile" come scriveva Sigmund Freud, fare i genitori? È sicuramente difficile perché più o meno consciamente si vorrebbe a propria immagine e somiglianza un figlio che, invece, può prendere strade imprevedibili e inattese. Troppo spesso si desidera letteralmente costruirlo, mentre si può solo preparare il terreno in cui crescerà, curandolo, proteggendolo e amandolo. Questo libro illustra come sono cambiate le famiglie negli ultimi anni e come sono cambiati i padri e le madri.

The bed is now half-empty, her body betrays her, and laughter seems elusive.

Egg freezing is rarely about women postponing fertility for the sake of their careers. Rather, the most-educated women are increasingly forced to delay childbearing because they face a mating gap—a lack of eligible, educated, equal partners ready for marriage and parenthood. For these women, egg freezing is a reproductive backstop, a technological attempt to bridge the gap while waiting for the right partner. Their stories reveal the extent to which it is logistically complicated, physically taxing, financially demanding, emotionally draining, and uncertain in its effects.

Married Americans enjoy over 1,000 benefits and entitlements that are withheld from our nonmarital counterparts. Health insurance, immigration rights, tax privileges (such as the estate tax), and hiring policies favor the married. Despite this blatant and widespread prejudice, nonmarital Americans—nonmarital people—have not galvanized as a group to demand equality and inclusion. Why? Moving Past Marriage argues that it is because of our troubled relationship to history.

Voice memos, care packages, hours-long phone conversations, treasured traditions that go back decades, glasses held aloft during wedding toasts, hands held at funerals, first cuddles with newborns, work lunches with work wives, taking it to the group chat – our friendships touch and enrich every part of our lives. But how often do we stop to consider them deeply?
