A Love Letter to Mothers

What are the challenges, inequalities and triumphs that shape the experience of early motherhood?

In her new book, 'Maternity Service: A Love Letter to Mothers from the Front Line of Maternity Leave', broadcaster and author Emma Barnett delves into the realities of becoming a mother today. Exploring a time of profound transformation, she examines the impact on women's identity, relationships and sense of purpose. Amidst collective forgetting and systemic neglect, how can society move towards a more compassionate and inclusive approach to maternal health?
