Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Can women have it all? What does it mean to be a woman and a mother in the modern age?


In this passionate, funny and fierce polemic, Paloma Faith delves deep into the issues that face women today, from puberty and sexual awakenings, to battling through the expectations of patriarchy and the Supermum myth.

Infused with Paloma's characteristic humour and raw honesty about the challenges of IVF and the early years of motherhood, this book is a beautiful celebration of women's work and the invisible load women carry. Moving from questions around identity and how motherhood impacts on that, to what it even means to be a "good mother", how we need to embrace messiness, imperfection and the bitter sweet pleasures of being "selfish" and putting ourselves first.

Paloma invites us into her own coming of age and relationship with her mum, to explore how our bonds with our children evolve into adulthood. We see a glimpse of the complexities and joys of Paloma's experience of juggling romantic love, heartbreak and dating with the demands of motherhood.

Honest, relatable account of growing up

This was so relatable for me with regards to motherhood fears and post-natal depression. I agree with her discussions on feminism and worry that society doesn't know how to break the patriarchal structure. Glad I listened

Loved it.

This is the book all expectant parents should read, but you’d never recommend it for fear of scaring them. Raw and very relatable.
