Judith Warner writes social criticism and narrative non-fiction about motherhood, mental health, gender and the pressures placed on families. Perfect Madness examines intensive mothering and the anxiety surrounding work, childcare, schools and self-sacrifice among middle-class American women. We've Got Issues turns to children's mental health, medication and public fears about psychiatric diagnosis, using reporting and interviews to test common assumptions. And Then They Stopped Talking to Me focuses on middle school, social exclusion and the lasting influence of early adolescence. Warner's prose is journalistic, argumentative and rooted in interviews rather than self-help formulas. Her work fits parenting culture, gender studies, mental-health reporting and social psychology, particularly for readers interested in how private family worries are shaped by larger institutions and expectations.
