Watch Laura Doyle's interview with the BBC

"Newshost:

But you have made it very hard for yourself by using this word "surrender" - "the surrendered housewife" - it gives such a negative impression. It does sound like the doormat - lay down and surrender.


Laura Doyle:

Well some people hear it that way but I not the first to use this word in this way in fact I have read things from Marian Williamson, Sister Wendy Beckett and Carl Jung and lots of other authors that I hold in high esteem.

They talk about surrender being something that we have to do every day - when you are driving in traffic you might wish the cars would move but you can't make them move - you can either sit there and honk and yell at the other drivers or you can say I can use this time to listen to books on tape or I will listen to music. I will make the most of it."
