Motherhood Manifesto: Reviews of the Book

"Well-written, persuasive, and quietly outraged, this is a ringing call for action on behalf of America's mothers and families. This book offers an exciting blueprint for long-overdue change."
Ann Crittenden, author of The Price of Motherhood.

"The Motherhood Manifesto is a revolutionary page-turner. The moving stories in this book reveal the shameful way our country treats its mothers--those raising the next generation of Americans. But this must-read manifesto doesn't just point fingers, it offers real solutions. I defy anyone to read this book and not want to hug their mother--then work for change."
- Arianna Huffington, founder, HuffingtonPost.com.

"Politicians get a clue: Family values are more than sound bites. This compelling book puts a face on the reality of motherhood today, and points to real ways we can value care giving as a society."
- Kim Gandy, President, National Organization for Women.

"A straightforward agenda by political activists Blades and Rowe-Finkbeiner advocates a seriously thought-out, workable scheme for empowering mothers at home and in the workplace."
