Writer Hannah Ray’s story on the clash between big tech, working life, and motherhood

** Books are only on sale until April 14th **

‘In a world where we are technologically more connected - to family, to history, to each other - somehow, women in the early years of motherhood are feeling more isolated than ever’

Hannah Ray built a high-profile career working for some of the world’s most formidable tech and media companies, from conglomerates to small startups.

Then, a new challenge: motherhood.

The writer hoped it would slot alongside investor calls, shipping products to millions, and round trips to Silicon Valley.

What she didn’t expect: redundancy, multiple miscarriages, childbirth in a pandemic, misogyny, a new mental health diagnosis.

When did ‘having it all’ morph into doing it all?

In Mother, Inc. Hannah shares for the first time how motherhood launched her into new roles that tested her every limit; work that is mission-critical but barely acknowledged as such.

With two volumes:

One: Hannah’s deeply felt exploration of what it’s like to raise babies in a tech-powered world, often in isolation, juggling the conflicting demands of corporate employment and roles assigned to women.

Two: a collection of essays split into three themes - work, mind, and body:

Aimee Ballinger - Solidarity (with children) forever: Can a workforce ever truly function outside of the needs of our children? We need to construct a world that puts them front and centre.

Alice Kinsella - Break a few: A woman’s changing relationship with her body - through sex, motherhood, and love - shows that the real struggle wasn’t with her physical self, but believing it was never truly hers.  

Kerri ní Dochartaigh - Now you have her: How love and motherhood reshape the mind, turning it away from itself and towards others in ways that are lasting and profound.
