Black women have been balancing the competing demands of work and home since before women even won the right to vote. But black voices are barely acknowledged in the mainstream "mommy wars" dialogue. Lonnae O'Neal Parker is determined to change that, in this uncommonly smart, highly acclaimed, and often witty examination--part memoir, part reportage--of how today's black women meet the challenges of marriage, motherhood, and work.
“"A provocative new book that takes a modern-day approach to Black motherhood."”
"A heartfelt and probing look at issues of race and gender" -- Booklist
