Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Can women have it all? What does it mean to be a woman and a mother in the modern age?
In this passionate, funny and fierce polemic, Paloma Faith delves deep into the issues that face women today, from puberty and sexual awakenings, to battling through the expectations of patriarchy and the Supermum myth.
Infused with Paloma's characteristic humour and raw honesty about the challenges of IVF and the early years of motherhood, this book is a beautiful celebration of women's work and the invisible load women carry. Moving from questions around identity and how motherhood impacts on that, to what it even means to be a "good mother", how we need to embrace messiness, imperfection and the bitter sweet pleasures of being "selfish" and putting ourselves first.
Paloma invites us into her own coming of age and relationship with her mum, to explore how our bonds with our children evolve into adulthood. We see a glimpse of the complexities and joys of Paloma's experience of juggling romantic love, heartbreak and dating with the demands of motherhood.

Honest, relatable account of growing up
This was so relatable for me with regards to motherhood fears and post-natal depression. I agree with her discussions on feminism and worry that society doesn't know how to break the patriarchal structure. Glad I listened

Wonderful all women should read especially mothers!
Paloma I thank you for saying all of the thing's I wish I could express as a woman, a mother, a partner and a feminist. This story was so very similar to my own experiences, especially the complexities of motherhood and losing ones own identity. Being dissatisfied in relationships and no longer wanting to mother needy men! I laughed throughout and deeply reflected on my own journey, I will tell all my female friends to read this book thank you xxx
