THE MALAISE OF MODERN MOTHERS

Breadwinner, businesswoman, Mom I’d like to fuck – nowadays mothers are supposed to be all of the above. It is no wonder that their wellbeing suffers. Time and again, Mareice Kaiser, journalist and herself a mother, realises: being the perfect mother is unachievable and full of contradictions. You can’t do anything right nor do anyone justice.

Of course, motherhood touches all areas of life: whether we are talking about work, money, sex, bodies, the psyche or love – stereotypes, clichés and societal pressures are everywhere, on Instagram, in bed and in the office. Mareice Kaiser uses her personal experience and journalist’s perspective to show where mothers are today: still more in the kitchen than in top management.
