parenting book actually unapoligetically talks about feminism

[upsydaisysexstylist]

Now, I have not read many parenting books since pregnant with Ds1, but this jumped out at me at the library www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/ref=pd_lpo_ix_dp_am_us_uk_en_my.020mother.020wears.020combat.020boots.020book_gl_book?keywords=my%20mother%20wears%20combat%20boots%20book&index=blendedhere&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

Any book which has a sidebar on how fathers can slap the face of the patriarchy is agood thing IMHO

I knew you were going to say this book

I have it, DP bought it for me when I was pg last year. Its very good, a wonderful antidote to the crap peddled in so many parenting books.

thanks Seth for better link I was ambushed by wakefuol children and never got back to thread. It's a book that made me think about how to talk to my two so thay grow up knowing there are alternatives to the media representation of the mainstream

Looks like a really interesting book, thanks for the link.

BTW I assume you all know cartoon Kate's breastfeeding book The Food of Love which is very lovely (though sadly dd was rather past the point of even my rather extended b/fing by the time I read it).

[BertieBotts]

Just ordered it :) I loved the pregnancy diary bit in the Look Inside preview. (A bit jealous of her interesting conception story too!)

[BertieBotts]

Yes I love the Food of Love. I don't have a copy but I recommended it to a pregnant friend and then borrowed it

[QueenOfFeckingEverything]

Was just looking at my copy last night and wondered if anyone had read it now and what they thought about it?

[SybilBeddows]

does she insult you? do tell!

[QueenOfFeckingEverything]

Oh dear. Not read it but may have to just so I have something else to get cross about.

[DirtyMartini]

Upsy, thank you for posting, I had never seen that book and it looks good.

Irksome re Shattered. Why does Asher dislike MN/NM so much?

[DontCallMeFrothyDragon]

Think I may have to look into this one. Thanks for the link. :)
