Sharon Lerner writes that for most the average cost of keeping one infant full-time at a child-care center is greater than public college tuition or an average family's food budget, and that is one of a long list of inequities and difficulties faced by mothers and families documented by Sharon Lerner in her new book, The War on Moms: Life in a Family Unfriendly Nation (Wiley). "The real war on mommies has little to do with wealthy women who opt out or quest for the perfect au pair. The real war on American mothers isn't cute and it's not making the front page of the nation's newspapers. Lerner tracks a war on mommies that is external, systemic, and brutal, and it stems from maternity leave to child care, to part-time employment policies that have made balancing work and family virtually impossible for real women. Every mom who worries about managing a workload, a home, and a family needs to read this book." - Dahlia Lithwick. Sharon Lerner writes about women and politics for The Nation.
