Mom's the Word

Yummy mummies, alternadads, and other literary offspring
Mom's the Word
Article by Julia Scott, Illustrated by Lauren Gregg, appeared in issue Super; published in 2007; filed under Social commentary; tagged breeding, literature, motherhood, parenting, procreation.

At the turn of the millennium, Bridget Jones and the Sex and the City girls heralded a new era of fun, fearless singledom. Chick lit, accompanied by memoirs and anthologies about single womanhood, made it whimsical for an otherwise-capable woman to be vain, proud of her missteps and mistakes, and heartbroken over her inability to find a man. Now, what happens in the next chapter after Ms. Adorably Quirky has found Mr. Right? She manifests new neuroses and fears as she enters the brave new world of motherhood.
