Can women have it all? What does it mean to be a woman and a mother in the modern age?

In this passionate, funny, and fierce polemic, Paloma Faith delves deep into the issues that face women today, from puberty and sexual awakenings to battling through the expectations of patriarchy and the Supermum myth. Infused with Paloma's characteristic humor and raw honesty about the challenges of IVF and the early years of motherhood, this book is a beautiful celebration of women's work and the invisible load women carry.

Moving from questions around identity and how motherhood impacts that, to what it even means to be a 'good mother,' how we need to embrace messiness, imperfection, and the bittersweet pleasures of being 'selfish' and putting ourselves first. Paloma invites us into her own coming of age and relationship with her mum to explore how our bonds with our children evolve into adulthood. We see a glimpse of the complexities and joys of Paloma's experience of juggling romantic love, heartbreak, and dating with the demands of motherhood.
