In Mother Trip Ariel Gore shares her centred approach to motherhood, defending the right to 'be who you are' in the face of society's oppressive notion of 'the perfect mother'. She recommends taking time out and occasionally putting your own interests before that of the child, emphasising the importance of retaining identity and individuality throughout motherhood. This is an up beat and liberating book with empowering meditations and anecdotes designed to encourage mothers to look after themselves.
