Negative Positive
Title: yawn
Review: Women old enough to remember the l950's will realize there's nothing new here. Anyone who thought the backlash was over will revise her thinking after reading this book.Krasnow waxes poetic on the subject of stay-at-home motherhood and makes a few good observations. What she doesn't do is explain what the woman who sacrifices all for family is supposed to do if she finds herself a single mother with a husband who doesn't pay child support, or a 55-year-old displaced homemaker with nothing to show for her troubles but an ex-husband who's found a younger model and grown children who seldom phone. The author fails to explain why only women are expected to put themselves in this precarious position. I could have sworn it took two people to create a child.One senses a certain amount of dishonesty here, in that the author has managed to turn out a book while preaching the joys of total self-surrender to family.To be fair, Krasnow writes well. If only she had something to say...
Is the review positive or negative?
