Misconceptions

Misconceptions: Truth, Lies, and the Unexpected on the Journey to Motherhood by Naomi Wolf was definitely a unique book. It was a strange, unorganized mix of the author's personal experience of pregnancy, birth, and mothering a young child and general information on these topics. The book had quite a negative tone, going into some depth on problems with maternity care in the U.S. The suggested solutions (which were few) were unrealistic and poorly thought out. I finished the book (meaning it wasn't awful), but it wasn't that great of a read.
