O: THE OPRAH MAGAZINE: "One of the Best Things Ever Said" on Motherhood
Quoted by PBS in documentary film, "The Mystery of Love," narrated by Anna Deveare Smith
The book looks at the infinite variety of supposed “experts” on child-rearing, products mothers are cautioned to buy, and advances they are urged to apply to their children (such as teaching them Latin or Mandarin
in utero, or training them to be gymnasts before that first crucial year has passed). Sonia Taitz reassures mothers that they are the best experts on their children, and that the intimacy born of closeness is better than any “Mommy and Me” class or flash-card drill.
To be re-issued as an e-book; AUTHORS GUILD edition available 2014.
