Maureen Freely – författare

Mike and Laura are an ordinary couple who are in love. But things start to go awry following the birth of their first child, when they become prey to an insidious Californian public menace - the Stork Club - a group of professional mothers, whose power becomes irresistible.

This work explores why feminism comes into conflict with women who have children, and why women with children suffer when they try to put feminist ideas into practice.

The future Mrs Midwinter was apprehensive of her new home because of the haunting accuracy with which her predecessor Rebecca had described it in her book "The Marriage Hearse". Maureen Freely is the author of "Mother's Helper", "The Life of the Party" and "The Stork Club".
