Fruitful: A Real Mother in the Modern World Book

The passion Anne Roiphe feels for being a mother far outweighs any literary accolades she could achieve for her writing. She believes that if men could only learn the art of mothering, the battle between the sexes, especially in the workplace, might abate. In this humorous, yet critical analysis on what it means to be a mother, Roiphe advocates co-mothering and condemns the women's movement for its male-bashing focus. Fathers who mother, she maintains, are less threatened by their wives' successes outside the home, because the traditional gender roles are shared. Though she is adamant about protecting a woman's right to choose to be a mother, she writes that once a woman has taken that step, she must regard it as sacred and never abandon her responsibility.
