Description
Enriched with discoveries from biology, psychology and social science, The Motherhood Complex is a journey to the heart of what it means to become a mother.
Melissa Hogenboom examines how the suite of changes we experience during pregnancy and motherhood influence our sense of self, both physically and from the wider world. From the way our brain changes during pregnancy and the psychological impact of our changing body, to the true cost of the motherhood workplace penalty and the intrusion of technology on family life, Hogenboom reveals how external events and society at large shape the way we see ourselves and impacts upon the choices we make.
Interweaving her personal experience as a mother of two young children with the latest research, Hogenboom confronts the modern myth of maternal perfection and highlights the importance of understanding how and why we change for our physical and emotional health.

"A welcome, refreshing and clear-eyed look at the twenty-first century expectations of motherhood." (Gina Rippon)
