Naomi Stadlen was a prominent figure in advocating for the importance of motherhood. In the early 1990s, she reflected on the undervaluing of her role as a mother and later published her influential book, What Mothers Do, Especially When It Looks Like Nothing, in 2004, which became a bestseller. She authored several more books on mothering and grandmothering, emphasizing the need for mothers to listen to themselves and to trust their instincts. Tragically, she experienced a traumatic childhood, losing her father at a young age, which shaped her understanding of care and nurturing in her life and work.
Naomi Stadlen's work tells mothers that their contributions, even when unseen, are valuable. Her bestselling book, What Mothers Do, underscores this message.
