Publisher's summary

Adrienne Rich's influential and landmark investigation concerns both the experience and the institution of motherhood.

The experience is her own - as a woman, a poet, a feminist, and a mother - but it is an experience determined by the institution, imposed on all women everywhere. She draws on personal materials, history, research, and literature to create a document of universal importance.

Must Read!

What an amazing book! Every woman and man should read this to understand how motherhood works in the patriarchal realm. Every daughter and son should read this to understand where her mother’s feelings and attitudes come from. How at times she must have felt hopeless, overwhelmed and defeated. Sometimes she found the strength to push through and love you through it all. Sometimes she broke down or lashed out, like all humans. This book teaches you compassion, empathy and pushes you to understand the hidden struggles women face in and outside the world of motherhood.
