Fast-paced and engaging yet carefully balanced and researched for
journalistic credibility, The Motherhood Manifesto turns the camera on
America’s hidden crisis of caring.
Moving personal stories combined with humorous animation, expert commentary
and hilarious old film clips tell the tale of what happens to working mothers
and families in America
and how enlightened employers and public policy can make paid family leave, flexible
working hours, part-time parity, universal healthcare, excellent childcare,
after-school programs and realistic living wages a reality for American
families.
Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Mary Steenburgen, The Motherhood Manifesto
shows dramatically just how far behind all other industrial countries the United States
lags in its support for families. Prominent experts including Karen Kornbluh,
Joan Williams, Janet Gornick, Jody Heymann and NOW’s Kim Gandy make the case
that America
can do much better.
