author ' A tremendous book both entertaining and important' - The i newspaper Can women
have it all? What does it mean to be a woman and a mother in the modern age? In this
passionate funny and fierce polemic Paloma Faith delves deep into the issues that face women
today from puberty and sexual awakenings to battling through the expectations of patriarchy
and the Supermum myth. Infused with Paloma's characteristic humour and raw honesty about the
challenges of IVF and the early years of motherhood this book is a beautiful celebration of
women's work and the invisible load women carry. Moving from questions around identity and
how motherhood impacts on that to what it even means to be a 'good mother' how we need to
embrace messiness imperfection and the bitter sweet pleasures of being 'selfish' and putting
ourselves first. Paloma invites us into her own coming of age and relationship with her mum
to explore how our bonds with our children evolve into adulthood. We see a glimpse of the
complexities and joys of Paloma's experience of juggling romantic love heartbreak and dating
with the demands of motherhood.
