Catherine Connors is a mother, writer and recovering academic. When she's not changing diapers or writing scholarly articles about the characterization of motherhood in Western philosophy, she blogs as Her Bad Mother. She's also the moderator of Her Bad Mother's Basement, a open blog-space for anonymous, confessional blog posts submitted by readers, the founder and editor of Better Than A Playdate (formerly MommyBlogsToronto), a collaborative blogzine for parent bloggers in Canada, and is a Contributing Editor at BlogHer. In her spare time, she relaxes by writing about pop culture at Mamapop and Babble - you know, for fun - and by trying to convince anyone who will listen that bad is, indeed, the new good.
