A Mother's Work: How Feminism, the Market, and Policy Shape Family Life by Neil Gilbert

Excellent book. Points out significant disconnects in the way Westerners think about motherhood and the dual income family, while also giving a flood of statistics and evidence for how our ideology, choices, and policies affect the sense of purpose in women's lives.
