Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines by Mai'a Williams, China Martens, Alexis Pauline Gumbs

5.0

Revolutionary Mothering is a collection of essays and poetry that discussed all the ways that mothering looks. I found myself captivated by each chapter as I honored the different experiences of mothering shared by the writers - black, indigenous, queer, immigrant, poc, solo, partnered, poor, rural, urban, southern, midwestern, coastal. So much of relationship to reproductive rights & justice has been connected to my politics around mothering, as an adoptee, a feminist, a queer woman of color. I'd recommend this anthology to anyone who has thought about mothering, in the broadest sense of the word, and who wants to explore the myriad iterations of mothering in families & communities.
