«Misconceptions» is Naomi Wolf's essay on motherhood, published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group in hardcover (352 pages, in English).
Wolf draws on her first pregnancy to question the myths of childbirth: the loss of autonomy due to hormones, the clash of ultrasounds with her ideas on abortion, and the lack of compassion in the medical system. She also addresses postpartum depression and social pressure on mothers, and calls for preparation to balance career and family.
The catalogue classifies this work under health and wellness and philosophy; the edition includes an epilogue on the birth of Wolf's second daughter.
For first-time mothers and fathers and for those interested in feminism and maternal health.
