"Phyllis Chesler's myth-shattering insights could literally save the sanity of many women, whether we are mothers or not, and involve many men in a critical human experience." —Gloria Steinem
"Phyllis Chesler has written a brave book about one woman's journey into motherhood. . . . A straightforward, unsentimental, yet poetic account of birth as a rite of passage." —Erica Jong

This diary of acclaimed  psychologist and radical feminist Phyllis Chesler was a pioneering work when it was first published in 1979, and it still resonates today.  It is a look into the first wave of feminism in the late 1970s and the changing attitudes towards motherhood and pregnancy at the time.
