mercenator's review against another edition
4.0
It is always good to shift our perspective on mothering away from it being something that only cishet, white, money-having people do.
This book does just that and I am grateful for it.

A beautiful book. Grateful for all the voices that shared and brought light to what mothering is-a revolutionary and queer act.

what took me so long! I picked this book up a few years ago, when I was a new parent, looking for a guide, trying to learn how to do this thing called revolutionary mothering. coming back to it now, as someone with almost 10 years of parenting and caregiving under my belt, it’s made me feel seen and affirmed and held. this collection tells the stories of m/others at the margins- mothers who are Black, Indigenous, disabled, teen aged, solo. It talks about mothering as a social practice, as a queer practice, as a practice of transforming relations. I’m so grateful for this collection and I know I will revisit many of these essays again.

There are some really beautiful stories in this book. Some have really inspired me to be more engaged in activism for myself and my children. Mothering isn’t just for mothers and many of these stories highlight the gross gap in support for families, especially families of color, single [young] mothers, poor families, and/or queer families. The village is no more and it is a disservice to mothers and children. But overall, this book is a beautiful tribute to motherhood, in all its glory and mess
