In this excerpt from her book Perfect Madness, author Judith Warner ponders these questions: "Why do so many otherwise competent and self-aware women lose themselves when they become mothers? Why do so many of us feel so out of control? And--the biggest question of all--why has this generation of mothers, arguably the most liberated and privileged group of women America has ever seen, driven themselves crazy in the quest for perfect mommy-dom?" (NEWSWEEK) In a related sidebar, author Anna Quindlen presents her views on perfect motherhood.
