Maternal Desire: On Children, Love and the Inner Life
Daphne de Marneffe. Good Condition.

"This brilliantly acclaimed, ground breaking book... will transform readers' thinking about the place of child rearing in women's lives.
By reminding us that, for most women, rasing children provides a sense of meaning and fulfillment that nothing else in life offers, Maternal Desire not only challenges feminist doctrine but asks us to reconsider fundamentally the status and perception of motherhood in our society. Drawing on sources that range from classic literature to contemporary clinical studies to her own experiences as a working mother of three young children, Daphne de Marneffe writhes with grace and lucidity as she explores the pleasures of motherhood- its emotional, intellectual and spiritual rewards- and projects an inspiring new vision of women's lives today.
