Rachel Cohen: Journalist and Author of "How millennials learned to dread motherhood"
from Nonfiction with Callie Hitchcock · host Callie Hitchcock
Rachel Cohen, a journalist working at Vox, explores what she calls "Millennial Mom Dread" in her article “How Millennials Learned to Dread Motherhood.” Rachel thinks there has been at least a decade long campaign of cultural messaging to women that having children is something that will ruin your happiness, your autonomy, and your ambition. Is it really just holding your breath for 18 years and then you get your life back? How did we get here and how do we separate this conversation from the current conservative drive to warning women to get married and have children or face a lifetime of unhappiness?
