“The only way All the Rage could be a better Mother’s Day gift
would be for partners to actually read it before giving it. Darcy
Lockman does an expert job of excavating and examining all the
complaints we have and injustices we feel, and then putting them
into a context that feels completely fresh. She makes the case for
talking about parenting and division of labor well before you begin
raising children—and if you’re already a parent, it would be
impossible not to recognize yourself in these pages.” — Kimberly
Harrington, author of Amateur Hour
“How far we have not come! By saying what too often goes unsaid,
Darcy Lockman delivers a thoughtful, timely, and bracing analysis
of unfairness on the home front that is a boon to those whose
dreams of an equal partnership have been dashed on the rocks of
night feedings and mothers-only PTAs.” — Ada Calhoun, author of
Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give
“Darcy Lockman delves into the baffling inequity of domestic life
in this well-researched and deeply personal book. Crucially, she
doesn’t just ask, ‘How did we get here?’ but goes even further with
‘What can we do about it?’ Lockman calls on both men and women to
question gender entitlements, actively negotiate family life, and
commit to fairness. Thoughtful and thought-provoking . . . there
were many times when I was reading this book that I found myself
nodding and saying ‘Yes.’ A worthy addition to a long-overdue
conversation.” — Jancee Dunn, author of How Not to Hate Your
Husband After Kids
