But women are often reluctant to talk honestly about the experience for fear they'll be seen as bad mothers. With wit and candor, \u003cb\u003eThe Mask of Motherhood\u003c\/b\u003e takes on the myths and the misinformation, helping women to prepare and deal with the depth of feeling that comes with the experience and perhaps most important, it lets them know that many, if not most, new mothers are feeling the same way.\u003cb\u003eSusan Maushart\u003c\/b\u003e, sociologist and mother of three, explores how motherhood affects our marriages and friendships, our relationships with parents, our sex lives, and our self-esteem. In The Mask of Motherhood, mothers will find the comfort and reassurance they are looking for, and confirmation that, indeed, motherhood is the toughest job in the world, but can also be the most rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Maushart is a columnist for \u003ci\u003eWeekend Australian Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and is heard regularly on ABC Radio as host of the acclaimed online series \"Multiple Choice.\" Maushart has a PhD in Media Ecology from New York University and her book \u003ci\u003eThe Mask of Motherhood\u003c\/i\u003e was hailed by the \u003ci\u003eLondon Times\u003c\/i\u003e as \"a feminist classic.\" She lives in Australia but will be returning to live in the Long Island, New York, area this winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 7.78 x 5.16 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52518803177779,"sku":"9780140291780","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/4qi9IrsQLm9780140291780.webp?v=1760478794","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-mask-of-motherhood-how-becoming-a-mother-changes-everything-and-why-we-pretend-it-doesnt-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
