The M Factor

The M Factor is a collection of essays written by mothers for mothers. Its contributors include psychologists, homeschoolers, and dance and yoga teachers, and they bring a range of views on how a woman's role changes as her children grow.

The essays cover a wide emotional span, from adoption and spirituality to grieving during pregnancy. The contributors, who are both practitioners and mothers, use their own work and lives to approach some of the most basic questions people have always wrestled with. The book leans toward mindfulness over myth and personal autonomy over authority.

It also aims to fill a gap left by international parenting books by offering advice rooted in the Indian context.
