Motherhood as Experience and Institution
Book • 1995
In 'Of Woman Born,' Adrienne Rich delves into the complexities of motherhood, distinguishing between the personal experience of mothering and the institutionalized expectations imposed by patriarchal society.
The book, originally published in 1976, is a powerful blend of research, theory, and self-reflection, exploring how motherhood is shaped by historical, social, and political factors.
Rich critiques the ways in which motherhood has been subjugated and commodified, advocating for women's autonomy and liberation.
The work remains significant today, offering profound insights into the intersections of motherhood, feminism, and personal identity.
