I’m docking this a little bit only for the audiobook version because I felt like the reader missed some nuances here and there, and the straight reading made it a little less compelling than it might have been with a more emotive reader, or read by the original writers

I absolutely loved this book, but because of where I am in life (ie not yet a m/other) it was dense and difficult at times. I want to return to it another year

I'll write a review for the blog but I'll say for now that this was an reinvigorating read. Highly recommended whether or not you're a mother, definitely if you are an activist of any kind.

Great message if a bit dated after just 5 years. But an important collection of great activists!

I'm so thankful to the editors and the contributors to this wonderful piece of work. I have been reading fiction for the past year, so it took a few pages for me to get into the writing.
I loved reading stories about mothering that were written by a diverse group of women at different stages of their lives. I don't want to include any spoilers in this review, but I will say that each story in this anthology illustrated the strength, vulnerability, and the necessity of revolutionary mothering. I have to say that my respect for women and transwomen who mother in difficult circumstances has grown as a result of reading this work. I also feel even more grateful for the women who have mothered me in addition to my biological mother.
I would recommend this anthology to anyone who is seeking to discover new ways to understand the importance and contributions of women and transwomen who choose to bring new life into this world. My reading group will be reading this book in the month of March, and I can't wait to see the discussions that unfold!
