I think the article poses an interesting question at the end -- what did happen to "sisterhood"?Was it taken over by "motherhood"? Whose interests are being served by polarizing the experiences of mothers and their respective families?

In the instance of "The Mommy Wars", the media seemed to be taking a suspiciously political viewpoint by providing "evidence" that backs up a conservative argument. In what other ways do the media use narratives as a possible form of social or political control?
