“I believe that looking to the past helps us see the present more clearly. Nothing about our current culture around motherhood is natural or inevitable or unchangeable. When we understand how the structures and policies and culture that constrain us came to be, we can see our way into changing them.”
Nancy Reddy, The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom

“This is the problem of looking for heroes and then looking at them too closely. There is no neat path for any of us to follow. There is still so much work for all of us to do. We are all building the road as we go.”
Nancy Reddy, The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom

“It sometimes feels like every generation of mothers from Betty Friedan and Adrienne Rich on has been learning anew that the story we've been sold about the magical power of a mother's love is largely a way to draft us into an enormous amount of unpaid and undervalued labor.”
Nancy Reddy, The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom
