The conflict how modern motherhood undermines the status of women

In this book the author Identifies vulnerabilities in today's parenting models for women, arguing that current recommendations are imposing 1950s era limitations at the expense of women's health, fatherhood, and child independence. Progressive modern motherhood is seen as a threat to women's freedom. The author names a reactionary shift that is intensely felt but has not been clearly articulated until now, a shift that America has pioneered. She reserves special ire for the orthodoxy of the La Leche League, an offshoot of conservative Evangelicalism, showing how on demand breastfeeding, with all its limitations, curtails women's choices. Moreover, the pressure to provide children with 24/7 availability and empathy has produced a generation of overwhelmed and guilt laden mothers, one cause of the West's alarming decline in birthrate. The author has for decades been in the vanguard of the European fight for women's equality. In this book she points her finger at a most unlikely force undermining the status of women: liberal motherhood, in thrall to all that is "natural." Attachment parenting, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, and especially breast-feeding, these hallmarks of contemporary motherhood have succeeded in tethering women to the home and family to an extent not seen since the 1950s. She argues that the taboos now surrounding epidurals, formula, disposable diapers, cribs, and anything that distracts a mother's attention from her offspring have turned childrearing into a singularly regressive force. This work is a scathing indictment of a stealthy zealotry that cheats women of their full potential.

  • ""Trente ans après L'Amour en plus, il se livre une véritable guerre idéologique souterraine, dont on ne mesure pas encore pleinement les conséquences pour les femmes. Le retour en force du naturalisme - qui remet à l'honneur le concept bien usé d'instinct maternel et fait l'éloge du sacrifice féminin - constitue le pire danger pour leur émancipation et l'égalité des sexes. À force d'entendre répéter qu'une mère doit tout à son enfant, son lait, son temps et son énergie, il est inévitable que de plus en plus de femmes reculent devant l'obstacle. Certaines, il est vrai, trouvent leur plein épanouissement dans la maternité, mais la majorité d'entre elles feront un jour le calcul des plaisirs et des peines : d'un côté, une expérience irremplaçable, l'amour donné et rendu et l'importance de la transmission ; de l'autre, les frustrations et le stress quotidien, les inévitables conflits et parfois le sentiment de l'échec. Si près d'un tiers des Allemandes restent sans enfant, cela signifie qu'elles trouvent à se réaliser ailleurs que dans la maternité telle qu'on la leur impose. Pour l'heure, les Françaises ont échappé à ce dilemme du tout ou rien. Elles ont su résister aux oukases de certains gourous de la pédiatrie. Tiendront-elles tête aux injonctions des maternalistes solidement soutenues par les plus respectables institutions? Jusqu'à quand sauront-elles imposer leurs désirs et leur volonté contre le discours rampant de la culpabilité?"--Page 4 of cover."

  • "In this explosive new book, acclaimed French author Elisabeth Badinter attacks a most unlikely force undermining women's equality: liberal motherhood, in thrall to all that is "natural." Attachment parenting, co-sleeping and on-demand breastfeeding'these hallmarks of contemporary motherhood have succeeded in tethering women to the home and family to an extent not seen since the 1950s. The taboos surrounding epidurals, formula and disposable diapers'anything that distracts a mother's attention from her offspring'have turned child rearing into a singularly regressive force. In sharp, engaging prose, Badinter names a reactionary shift that has been intensely felt but never clearly articulated until now. A bestseller in Europe, The Conflict is a scathing indictment of a stealthy zealotry that cheats women of their full potential."@en
