Perfect Motherhood
Shows how the belief that mothers need to be savvy about the scientific directives has shifted the role of childrearer away from the mother and toward the professional establishment. The author discusses how most women are finding ways to negotiate among the scientific recommendations, their own knowledge, and the reality of their daily lives.
