About this book
Exploring the vital connection between motherhood and social change,The Maternal Is Politicalfeatures more than 40 powerful, hard-hitting literary essays by women who are striving to make the world a better place for children and families — both their own and other women’s — in this country and globally. From the mom deconstructing playground "power games" with her first-grade child, to the mother who speaks out against misogyny during an awkward road trip with her college-age daughter and friends, to the mother of sons worrying about the threat of a future military draft,The Maternal Is Politicalbrings together the voices of women who are transforming the political and social: one child, one babysitter, one peace march at a time.
