Advance Praise for "The War Moms" "Sharon Lerner has turned her guns on the futility of the swanky 'Mommy Wars' to reveal that the real war on mommies has little to do with wealthy women who opt out or the quest for the perfect au pair. The real war on American mothers isn't cute and it's not making the front page of the nation's newspapers. Lerner tracks a war on mommies that is external, systemic, and brutal, and it stems from maternity leave, to child care, to part-time employment policies that have made balancing work and family virtually impossible for real women. Every mom who worries about managing a workload, a home, and a family needs to read this book. The laundry can wait." --Dahlia Lithwick, Senior Editor, "Slate" "Packed with information and firsthand reporting, "The War on Moms" is eye-opening reading for anyone who cares about what's happening to women, children, and families in the current economic crisis." --Katha Pollitt, author of "Learning to Drive and Virginity or Death!" "Out of over 170 countries, there are 4 countries that have no paid leave for new mothers: Papua New Guinea, Swaziland, Liberia, and the United States of America. Shocking. "The War on Moms" tells us about the huge challenge mothers and families face in this nation. It is time for U.S. policy and business practice to catch up with the rest of the world and make it possible for all parents to both care for their children as well as support them." --Joan Blades, President, MomsRising.org
