Conversations About Motherhood
Two years ago, The M Word: Conversations about Motherhood was published, a book that broadened our understanding about motherhood and womanhood. And extra-textually, The M Word has been part of a larger conversation about motherhood. Here are some other excellent books that have been contributing to that conversation as well.
