The Maternal Is Political: Women Writers at the Intersection of Motherhood and Social Change

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (33060 ratings)

Description:Exploring the vital connection between motherhood and social change, The Maternal Is Political features thirty powerful, hard-hitting literary essays by women who are striving to make the world a better place for children and families—both their own and other women’s—in this country and globally. Each contributor tackles complex issues facing mothers and society today. Whether it’s a mother teaching her children to live ecologically responsible lives, a mother struggling to get out of poverty while raising her kids, a mother’s response to her child being sent to Iraq, or a mother voting for the first time, each writer forges the link, the crucial relationship, between the personal (life with family) and the political (life in the world) to give voice to, and thus empower, other women to realize and seize their collective political clout as mothers. Written by and for mothers, The Maternal Is Political is crafted to help motivate us to discover, appreciate, and use with greater effectiveness our tremendously powerful (and too often underutilized) political votes and voices to create positive social change.Contents: Foreword by Kristin Rowe-FinkbeinerIntroduction by Shari MacDonald Strong"Motherhood Made Me Do It" by Judith Stadtman Tucker"Alien" by Sarah Masterson"Mom, Interrupted" by Marrit Ingman"Rebel Mom" by Tracy Thompson"As a Mother" by Nancy Pelosi"Life Under Construction" by Jennifer Margulis"Of Volcanoes and Ruins and Gardens" by Violeta Garcia-Mendoza"Well-Behaved Women" by Jennifer Niesslein and Stephanie Wilkinson"The Secret Lives of Babysitters" by Sarah Werthan Buttenwieser"My Bus" by Karen Maezen Miller"On Receiving Notice of My Stepdaughter's Pregnancy" by Mary Akers"Shown the Ropes" by J.
