Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood is a 2022 non-fiction book by Jessica Grose.
Screaming on the Inside describes the experience of motherhood in the United States, with Grose using her personal experience as a mother as a foundation on which to build a criticism of the expectations American society has for mothers.
Jessica Grose has written a parenting column for The New York Times since 2018 with a focus on women's issues. She interviewed hundreds of women as part of the research process while writing the book. [1]
Screaming on the Inside was published by Mariner Books on December 6, 2022. [2]
Screaming on the Inside received generally positive reviews upon release. [2] Anna Nordberg praised Grose for bringing "a journalist's perspective" to the subject of motherhood in The San Francisco Chronicle . [3] Kim Brooks wrote positively about Grose's argumentation throughout the book but criticized her for not fully examining the systemic issues discussed. [4] Publishers Weekly recommended the book to "mothers struggling to keep their heads above water" and wrote positively about Grose's blend of historical research and personal narrative. [5] Kirkus Reviews praised Grose's prose but criticized her historical analysis as being "more relevant to White, heterosexual, cisgendered mothers." [6] Elaine Margolin was more critical of the book, writing in The New York Journal of Books that Grose's historical analysis was impressive but that the memoir sections often fell flat. Margolin presented Rebecca Solnit and Deborah Levy as points of comparison. [7] Positive reviews of the book were also published in Library Journal and Booklist . [8]

Natural childbirth is childbirth without routine medical interventions, particularly anesthesia. Natural childbirth arose in opposition to the techno-medical model of childbirth that has recently gained popularity in industrialized societies. Natural childbirth attempts to minimize medical intervention, particularly the use of anesthetic medications and surgical interventions such as episiotomies, forceps and ventouse deliveries and caesarean sections. Natural childbirth may occur during a physician or midwife attended hospital birth, a midwife attended homebirth, or an unassisted birth. The term "natural childbirth" was coined by obstetrician Grantly Dick-Read upon publication of his book Natural Childbirth in the 1930s, which was followed by the 1942 Childbirth Without Fear.
