520    Mixed feelings about motherhood, uncertainty over having a
       child, fears of pregnancy and childbirth, or negative 
       thoughts about one's own children, are not just hard to 
       discuss, they are a powerful social taboo. In this book, 
       the author brings this issue to light. She uncovers the 
       roots of ambivalence, tells how it manifests in lives of 
       women and their children, and describes a spectrum of 
       maternal behavior, from normal feelings to highly 
       disturbed mothering. In a society where perfection in 
       parenting is the unattainable ideal, this book also shows 
       how women can affect positive change in their lives.
