To an examination of the highs and lows of the movement. Four waves of feminism since women achieved the right to vote, the rich cultural history of this fierce movement is truly worthy of celebration. Read it to your daughters. Read it to your sons.
2. THE PUSH By Ashley Audrain
“The arrival of baby Violet was meant to be the happiest day of my life. I would be different. I would be like other women for whom it all came so easily. And I would be everything my own mother was not. But as soon as I held her in my arms I knew something wasn’t right.” The Push is a compelling tale of motherhood expectation and truth, gripping until the end.
“The rich cultural history of this fierce movement is truly worthy of celebration. Read it to your daughters. Read it to your sons.”
Set in Australia, The Mother Fault is an addictive thriller, a heart-pounding adventure and a moving portrayal of the lengths a mother will go to save her family.
