### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Truly enjoyable stories for all types of mothers.
  

*by V***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2012*

This was my bath time luxury. Almost each story is a prefect read before your water gets too cold. "A Mothers Body" by Kate Moses still gives me goosebumps and makes me seek out my four year old boy and hold him close. And I thought the Drama Queen For A Day was a very clever series.Must admit though, I couldn't get over the title, "Mothers Who Think" as if there are mothers who don't. Like this is a book for smart mothers; those other mothers would never understand. Yeah right.  And aside from a lot of great stories, the last story was a bit draggy. Also there's a story about a woman who decides to not be a mother. I remember feeling dissatisfied at the end of that story and had to find something else to read and add more hot water to my bath.But, mostly by the end of the book, I felt like these writers were my friends. I shared my ideas with their ideas and understanding of motherhood. I related to them, even when I disagreed with them. They reminded me of my own terrible thoughts, then reminded me that motherhood for us all, everywhere CAN be terrible along with being terribly ecstatic and terribly funny.  May we all keep laughing at ourselves.

    For readers who think
  

*by P***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2003*

Most of the essays in this slim but powerful book originally appeared in the Mothers Who Think column on Salon.com, including a real winner by Anne Lamott. Although they vary tremendously in tone, subject, angle, and focus, all together they create a powerfully articulate image of what it means to be Mother. And I'm talking Mother in a minute, interior sense, not in the do-goody style of parenting magazines. There's nothing soapy or sappy in any of these essays - so read it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Unexpected range of essays
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2012*

This collection of essays is unexpectedly literary, though I should have expected that from the Salon.com editors.  The essays range from groaning humor to shockingly poignant to intensely thought-provoking.  Many deal with issues such as abortion, mother's sexuality, death of a child, that aren't really talked about.  This read is going to stick with me for a long time.
