女性從懷孕、生產到育兒初期，會經歷一段影響生理、心理與人際關係的巨大轉變，變化的劇烈程度絕對不亞於已經被大眾接受的青春期(Adolescence)，這段不為人知的重要人類發展階段被稱為Matrescence，指的是女性「從女人成為母親」這個時期的經歷與變化，也可以說是「女性的第二次青春期」。 《女性的二次青春期》這本書引用各個領域對Matrescence的最新研究，包含神經科學、演化生物學、社會學等，完整且全面地為讀者描繪女性成為母親後不止於身體，更擴及心靈與大腦的改變，並警告忽視這些變化的後果。作者露西．瓊斯(Lucy Jones)也揭露媽媽們在父權主義與資本導向社會中的弱勢處境，對於無處發聲成為母親後的混沌生活感到無力，進而壓抑情緒，質疑自己。
