Gail Collins (2009) and Amy Richards (2008) contend that there has been a resurgence of praise for women who give up their careers for full-time motherhood. Do you agree? If so, how can society reconcile the contradictory assumptions that full-time motherhood is desirable for middle-class mothers, but that poor mothers should combine employment with parenthood?
