For some women this tension is manifest in a debate over whether or not to have children. For others it concerns whether to stay at home with their children or stay in the workforce. Still others feel abandoned altogether by the supposedly pro-family and pro-mother social justice movement that is feminism and are at a loss when it comes to reconciling their maternal instincts with their political beliefs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eOpting In\u003c\/i\u003e, Amy Richards addresses the anxiety over parenting that women face today in a book that mixes memoir, interviews, historical analysis, and feminist insight. In her refreshingly direct and thoughtful approach, Richards covers everything from the truth about our biological clocks and the trends toward extending fertility, to parenting with nature \u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003enurturing in mind, to our relationship with our own mothers, to what feminism's relationship to motherhood is and always has been. Speaking from the vantage point of someone who is both a parent and one of our leading feminist activists, Richards cuts through the cacophony of voices intent on telling women the \"appropriate\" way to be a mother and reveals instead how to confidently forge your own path while staying true to yourself and your ideals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Richards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374226725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/11\/2008 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2008 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/28\/2008 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/19\/2008 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmy Richards\u003c\/b\u003e is the co-author of \u003ci\u003eManifesta\u003c\/i\u003e (FSG, 2000) and \u003ci\u003eGrassroots\u003c\/i\u003e (FSG, 2005) and the co-founder of the feminist speaker's bureau, Soapbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40210711707763,"sku":"9.78037E+12","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ac24c557-2912-4557-9069-05f53ac60e93.jpg?v=1656422124","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/opting-in-having-a-child-without-losing-yourself-9780374226725","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
