Essential Writings on Motherhood","description":"\u003cp\u003e''My aim for \u003cem\u003eMother Reader \u003c\/em\u003ehas been to bring together examples of the best writing on motherhood of the last sixty years, writing that tells firsthand of the mother's experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the writings in \u003cem\u003eMother Reader \u003c\/em\u003ecomment on and interpolate one another, in citations, in footnotes, in direct homage. As I was assembling this collection one text would lead to one another, treasure-hunt fashion, the clue provided by an acknowledgement or bibliography. And just as often the writing circles back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eMother Reader \u003c\/em\u003echapters are excerpted from autobiographies, memoirs, and novels; entries are lifted from diaries; essays and stories are culled from collections, anthologies, and periodicals. My project has been to assemble a compendium or sampler of these ''kindred spirit'' works on motherhood, so that readers, and especially mothers with limited time on their hands, can access in one volume the best literature on the subject and know where turn to continue reading.
