Caitlin Flanagan has been stirring up passions, inciting arguments, and testing accepted notions about family, motherhood, and home from the moment she published her first essays and articles. In To Hell with All That, she examines the central concerns of women's private lives -- weddings, sex, nannies, housekeeping, marriage, children -- in a blazingly fresh light that turns a familiar discourse on its head.
Bitingly funny, heartbreakingly candid, Caitlin Flanagan considers the push and pull of women's daily lives. To Hell with All That is a moving, provocative, unforgettable exploration of both the high price women pay for devoting themselves to the people they love, and the matchless rewards that come from such a sacrifice.
Caitlin Flanagan began her magazine-writing career at the Atlantic Monthly in 2001 with a series of essays on modern family life that became an immediate sensation and the subject of an ongoing and heated national discussion. She is now a staff writer at The New Yorker, and her essays are passed from friend to friend as often as they are challenged and championed in the media.
