THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER THAT CHANGED AMERICA'S VIEW OF MOTHERHOOD

In the pathbreaking tradition of Backlash and The Second Shift, this provocative book shows how mothers are systematically disadvantaged and made dependent by a society that exploits those who perform its most critical work. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and research in economics, history, child development, and law, Ann Crittenden proves definitively that although women have been liberated, mothers have not.

Bold, galvanizing, and full of innovative solutions, The Price of Motherhood was listed by the Chicago Tribune as one of the Top Ten Feminist Literary Works since the publication of Betty Friedan's Feminine Mystique. This "bracing call to arms" (Elle) offers a much-needed accounting of the price that mothers pay for performing the most important job in the world.

Best Lotion Ever
This is honestly one of the best lotions I’ve used. The Dove Body Cream Serum leaves my skin feeling super soft, smooth, and hydrated all day without feeling greasy. It really helped improve my rough, dry skin after just a few uses, and the scent is light and clean. Definitely a new favorite!

Yes! Cannot go wrong after hot shower.
They can pump out all the fancy moisturizers and lotions they want - I always come back to the originals. Dove has a brand reputation which never fails. This cream serum is awesome for all over my body after a hot shower (bc it kinda dries out my skin). Face and body, it works. Apply after shower before bed and you have a whole skincare routine. Cannot beat the price for less than $10! This is one of three I bought in this line and each is as good as the next.

“Dove Pro-Ceramide Body Cream Serum – Deep Hydration and Skin Repair”
Title: “Dove Pro-Ceramide Body Cream Serum – Deep Hydration and Skin Repair” Review: This Dove body cream feels rich and very moisturizing without being too heavy. It absorbs well into the skin and leaves it soft, smooth, and hydrated for a long time. The pro-ceramide formula helps improve dryness and supports the skin barrier with regular use. It also has a pleasant, light scent that isn’t overpowering. Overall, a great daily body cream for dry or sensitive skin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Smooth and Creamy but…
It’s smooth and light. No oily or sticky residue left on skin. This has absolutely no fragrance so good for sensitive skin. It moisturized through my 9 hours of sleep. I applied directly after my shower. Only con I found- hard to squeeze if you have arthritis.

Love this Dove!
I have picky and fussy skin! I never really know what might upset it, and cause it to freak out! I do know that the skin on my hands, particularly around my cuticle area, has an attitude problem! If I use the wrong nail polish or nail polish remover, wash my hands too much, if it's too hot or too cold, or if I just breathe wrong at this point; my cuticles are going to get wrecked! I've tried cuticle oils, cuticle masks, cuticle creams, and everything in between to help them; but to no avail! And what makes it worse, is that l'm a picker! So, once I see a flap of skin, I have to get rid of it! This is a bad combo! But, I'm really happy to report that this Dove Cream Serum REALLY helped!! My skin isn't near as inflamed, it's healed in a few spots completely, and I was even able to put some nail strengthener on them, without my cuticles feeling like they were on fire!! I used this product after cuticle oil to lock it in, and it helped so much!! It is odorless, so no perfumes to make the inflammation worse! It is creamy but melts down nicely into the skin! It lasts! And I love all of the extras in it like the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide! I've also started using this on my legs, feet, and my heels look like a baby’s butt! Soft and dead skin free! My strawberry legs have even started to look less noticeable.
