Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines by Mai'a Williams, China Martens, Alexis Pauline Gumbs
5.0
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!
