On Saturday, May 4 at 2:00 PM, San Mateo County Libraries is excited to welcome local writer Minna Dubin as she discusses her book Mom Rage at the Belmont Library! The first fifty attendees will receive a free copy of Mom Rage: The Everyday Crisis of Modern Motherhood.
Minna Dubin was an angry mom: exhausted by the grueling, thankless work of full-time parenting and feeling her career slip away, she would find herself screaming at her child or exploding at her husband. When she pushed past her shame and talked with other mothers, she realized that she was far from alone. Mom Rage is Dubin's groundbreaking work of reportage about an unspoken crisis of anger sweeping the country--and the world. While a specific instance of rage might be triggered by something simple, the roots of the anger go far deeper, from the unequal burden of childcare shouldered by moms to the flattening of women's identities once they have kids.
Drawing on insights from moms across the spectrum of race, sexual orientation, and class, Dubin offers practical tools to help readers disarm their rage in the moment, while never losing sight of the broader social change we need to stop raging for good.
