You Make Me Feel Like an Unnatural Woman is not only about having children later in life: it's about what happens to a marriage—and to the spirit, when even the most sought-after baby comes. Wry, warm, and brutally honest, this is the book for any woman—whatever her age—who has awakened at 3AM to the insistent shrieks of her darling and thought: Oh man, I'm too old for this.
JUDITH NEWMAN writes a monthly column for Ladies Home Journal and is a contributing editor for Allure and Self. She also writes for Vanity Fair, Harper's, Discover, and the New York Times. She lives in New York City.
Judith Newman


"I don't like children very much. Which is how I became the mother of twins." Judith Newman's memoir of motherhood begins with those sentences, which in the annals of mommy memoirs - a slim subcategory, unlike the overstuffed portion that deals with unhappy childhoods - neatly joins Anne Lamott's, who notes in her own M.M., "Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year," published by Pantheon in 1993, "So anyway, I had a baby last week."
The New York Times
Anyone who is thinking of motherhood, or is already landed with it, should read this book: it's funny, truthful, unsparing, and, again, funny.
Nigella Lawson
