==Reception==
Seebohm expressed admiration for the development of the book since Chesler expressed a commonality with other women going through motherhood. Seebohm stated that there was [[irony]] since Chesler, in ''[[Women and Madness]]'', had, in Seebohm's words, "exhorts women to shake themselves free of the models of mothering and nurturing so long imposed upon them, she believes, by a maledominated society."<ref name=Seebohm/> Chesler disputed this characterization in the [[letters to the editor]], but Seebohm stood by it.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

[[Kirkus Reviews]] wrote that "these journal entries are intimate and oddly involving."<ref name=KirkusReviews></ref> Kirkus stated that the book does not examine "some key issues" and that the work "is hardly novel and her privileged situation may turn some readers away."<ref name=KirkusReviews></ref>
