A tender, moving, and insightful account of queer motherhood and an interrogation of life on the margins of American culture as a self-described “ugly” woman Ugly is a word with fangs that can kill a woman’s self-esteem in one bite. Edicts about how women should look, behave, and think are the brutal forge through which they are made — not born. And to defy the pretty imperative is to become invisible. It can be a hard thing to admit to yourself, let alone to your child— to say the words, “I am ugly,” or “I am seen as ugly.”

Entering your 40s can feel like navigating a relentless wave of societal pressure, self-doubt, and expectations. Questions like "Am I where I 'should' be?", "Should I marry?", "Have kids?", "Switch careers?", "Worry about my finances?", and "Ask my doctor about perimenopause?" often dominate our thoughts. For generations, women have been fed a narrow narrative about midlife—one of stability and monotony. Yet, today's societal and economic pressures have reshaped this decade into something far more dynamic and unexpected.

In this work, slut-shaming expert Leora Tanenbaum explains that when we criticize young women for wearing body-revealing outfits and sharing sexy selfies, we are losing the plot. Young people are sick of being held responsible for others' inability to keep their eyes off their bodies. They explain that most of the time, they aren't even trying to sexualize themselves—and, when they do, they are taking control over their bodily autonomy.

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.

Call it what you will: the fact remains that gossip is entwined into our daily lives. In today's world of misinformation, where the voices and stories of women are being silenced, gossip has the power to shatter reputations and destroy credibility.

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.

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.

The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person’s biological bad luck can be another person’s financial gain.
