Table of ContentsReviewsThis is the rare book that is both important for how we think about policy solutions to serious social problems, and also incredibly relatable and hard to put down. -- Emily Oster, author of Expecting Better, Cribsheet and The Family Firm In the all-too-timely Screaming on the Inside, Jessica Grose is direct and bracing in her assessment of how horrifically the United States serves its mothers and, in turn, its children. Enraging and elucidating, it's also a pleasure to read. -- Rebecca Traister, author of Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger and writer-at-large for New York Magazine and The Cut This is the book I've been waiting for on contemporary motherhood: historically rooted, incisive, empathic, furious, while always asking how we actually move forward. If you think Screaming on the Inside is just a book for moms, you're very wrong. -- Anne Helen Petersen, author of Out of the Office and Can't Even and writer of Culture Study Grose's fiery compassion is matched by her profoundly complex understanding of the material and her trenchant, witty prose....

I just want to do a good job--but that can feel like the impossible dream at times. Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood helps us understand how mothers got to this place of outsized expectations from society and from ourselves. Jessica Grose has spent a career talking with experts and parents and has now mined her wealth of knowledge to write a book that is long overdue. -- Soledad O'Brien Stirring. ...Mothers struggling to keep their heads above water will find camaraderie in this empathetic outing. -- Publishers Weekly This is the rare book that is both important for how we think about policy solutions to serious social problems, and also incredibly relatable and hard to put down. -- Emily Oster, author of Expecting Better, Cribsheet and The Family Firm In the all-too-timely Screaming on the Inside, Jessica Grose is direct and bracing in her assessment of how horrifically the United States serves its mothers and, in turn, its children.
