I was utterly gripped. This is powerful stuff. Rebecca Asher's take
of the culture of parenting is radical, original and refreshingly
spirited, a heartfelt call for change
*Daily Telegraph*
Asher is an elegant writer and a lucid thinker... This is a
polemical book, stuffed full of research and case studies; yet it
is gripping enough to read through the night. It left me fired up
with reformist zeal
*Mail on Sunday*
A furious, but immensely articulate, puncturing of the myth that
the nirvana of parental equality has been achieved... An
intelligent, thoroughly researched and highly readable contribution
to a debate that urgently needs to be aired in the corridors of
power, as well as through gritted teeth over snatched cups of
bitter coffee in baby and toddler groups
*Sunday Herald*
Asher wants a revolution, and her conviction is invigorating...
This book should be read by parents and policymakers alike
*Guardian*
Should be required reading for policy makers and new parents
alike... This is the academic counterpart to the roller coaster of
emotional experience that forms the basis for books such as Rachel
Cusk's A Life's Work
*Time Out*
