Description

From one of the most important contemporary thinkers we have, a compelling, forceful tract about women and motherhood that demands immediate attention.

Moving commandingly between pop cultural references such as Roald Dahl's Matilda to observations about motherhood in the ancient world, and thoughts about the stigmatization of single mothers in the UK, Mothers delivers a groundbreaking report into something so prevalent we hardly notice.
