"Our post-feminist generation grew up believing we could do and be any- thing, and it's fair to say that we pretty much could," Warner says. "But all this ran aground once we had children. "For many women, it became very difficult to reconcile not just work and family, but our pre-motherhood and post-motherhood selves. Many began to nurse a simmering rage, and many more blamed themselves and turned themselves inside out wondering where they'd gone wrong." Warner's interest in psychology was encouraged by her late father, Sam, a New York psychologist. Her mother, Zelda, a retired school administrator, stayed home to raise Judith until col- lege age. "I'm like my mother in wanting things done right, but I'm unlike her in being a little more loose in the defi- nition of the right ways for things to be done," Warner says after analyzing her parenting style in light of the book. "She is very organized and detail-ori- ented, and I'm much more day- dreamy. "All the research I have done makes me laugh at myself more and be aware if I'm living some perfect madness moments. It makes me more self-con- scious when I find myself doing things that fly against the image people now have of me as somebody who is a voice of reason and above the fray. "I'm a lot clearer in my mind of what I will and will not do, what kind of person and mother I am and what I'm good at and what I'm not good at. I'm at peace with that rather than try- ing to be good at all different things." Warner hopes to be good at raising awareness about the parenting issues important to her. Besides promoting the book, she has accepted speaking engagements and will be testifying before Congress. Warner, raised in a culturally Jewish home, and her husband, raised in a Jewish and Catholic home, celebrate all religious holidays with their daughters, but Warner does not believe that the question of Judaism enters into the points she is making through her text. The problem is universal among the upper middle class, she says. (Warner's oldest daughter went to a Jewish pre- school, and her book's initial interview groups drew women whose children attended.) "I try to make my daughters feel loved, believe in themselves and feel good about themselves," says Warner, who earned a bachelor's degree from Brown University in Providence, R.I., and a master's degree from Columbia University in New York City. "I think if I can do that, then they will be fine in whatever they want to do or whoever they are going to be. I want them to have a realistic notion of being able to support themselves whether ending up working through- out their lives or not. "About motherhood, I would advise them to be happy about it and set up their lives in whatever way makes them happiest because if they make them- selves happy, then their families will be happy. That's the best thing they can do for their children." ❑ More For Moms • The Women Who Danced by the Sea by Marsha Mirkin, Ph.D. (Monkfish; $16.95): What is the contemporary meaning of the Bible and what does it mean for us psychologically? This book is one of the first of its kind to view the lives of biblical women through the lens of contemporary psychological theories, as each chapter looks at a different foremother and a different issue she must grapple with in order to gain the wisdom to move into a deeper rela- tionship with herself, those she loves and God. The author is a clinical psy- chologist and resident scholar at the Brandeis University Women's Studies Research Center in Waltham, Mass. • Because I Said So edited by Camille Peri and Kate Moses (Harper Collins; $24.95): This compendium of essays by 33 mothers who write about children, sex, aging, faith, race and themselves features a compendium of novelists, journalists, pundits, educators, activists and newsmakers — some of them Jewish — who share their experience of raising children in an increasingly troubled world and the self-discovery that emerges on the journey. Peri and Moses are founding editors of the Mothers Who Think Web site at Salon.com.
