Feminism’s relationship with motherhood has given rise to a steady stream of polarizing rhetoric in recent years. Are stay-at-home moms undermining decades of progress for women in the workplace? Does the pro-family social justice movement mesh with maternal instincts? How should women reconcile differences between their political beliefs and their biological clocks? Bringing inspiring clarity and refreshing new answers to these important debates, a prominent voice in the Third Wave feminist movement now quells the anxiety over whether to opt out of having children. A blend of memoir, interviews, history, and meaningful advice, Opting In reveals a liberating new path for finding authenticity and fulfillment within the maze of twenty-first-century attitudes toward parenting.
