After Minna Dubin's New York Times essay on mom rage went viral, she received hundreds of messages from other parents, thanking her for daring to explore something most of us would rather pretend doesn't exist. Dubin was therefore inspired to write the new book MOM RAGE: The Everyday Crisis of Modern Motherhood, to explore what exactly mom rage is, where it comes from, and what we can do about it.
Minna's writing has appeared in the New York Times, Salon, Parents, among others, and as a leading feminist voice on mom rage, Minna has appeared on MSNBC, Good Morning America, and NPR.
In this interview, Minna and Amy discuss:

Why mom rage is a complex multi-phase physiological and psychological cycle that starts long before we explode

The societal neglect of mothers, and how it contributes

What does—and doesn't—work to mitigate our mom rage


We discussed Minna's original essay, and our own takes on mom rage, in this additional episode.
