Like a Prayer, but Not a Prayer
13 April 2006Anti-feminist It Girl Caitlin Flanagan has cobbled her New Yorker and Atlantic articles into a defense of "traditional motherhood" (the kind abetted by a rich husband, a nanny, and housekeepers) that turns heartbreaking when it becomes an attempt to ward off Flanagan's fear of dying. And yet, writes, Joan Walsh, even then this secular revision of Christian Right "family values" possesses "none of the loveliness or sense of wonder of a prayer."
