I have almost finished reading Elisabeth Badinter’s book The Conflict: How Modern Motherhood Undermines the Status of Women that only appeared in English translation yesterday. I will publish a review very soon. I know that there are many people who want to read a review of that book, so this is a heads up that it’s coming. 🙂
All I can say for now that is that I stayed up until 4 am reading this book on a night when I had to get up at 7 am in the morning. It isn’t like it says anything particularly new (at least, to me) but it’s so refreshing to read a reasonable, non-hysterical and non-essentialist argument on the subject. I love a thinker who scoffs at the phrase “maternal instinct.”

There is some medical benefit to short-term nursing – in the aggregate. Whether it makes sense for a particular mother-infant pair depends on a lot of variables.

I love my readers. I haven’t even written the review yet, and they are already responding to it. 🙂
