Anotace
In memoirs, testimonials, diaries, essays, and fiction, 36 women contributors describe the changes brought to their lives by pregnancy, childbirth, and mothering. Because most of the contributors are writers - including Annie Ernaux, Adrienne Rich, and Alice Walker - the intersection of motherhood and creative life is an ongoing theme. Many of the writers articulate maternal anger and ambivalence, such as Jane Lazarre in "The Mother Knot." In other essays, such as Mary Gaitskill's "A Woman's Prerogative" and Joy Williams' "The Case Against Babies" the very fact of reproduction in an overpopulated world is questioned and probed. Selections also include Margaret Atwood's elusive story "Giving Birth"; excerpts from Sylvia Plath's passionate diaries and Tillie Olsen's ground-breaking Silences; and Mary Kelly's precise and intimate recordings of her son's early years from her epic artwork Post-Partum Document. The book also features literary criticism.
