Of woman born : motherhood as experience and institution

Rich, Adrienne, 1929-20122021
Books
In 'Of Woman Born', originally published in 1976, influential poet and feminist Adrienne Rich examines the patriarchic systems and political institutions that define motherhood. Exploring her own experience - as a woman, a poet, a feminist and a mother - she finds the act of mothering to be both determined by and distinct from the institution of motherhood as it is imposed on all women everywhere.
