From its original publication in 1976 to the present, Of Woman Born has revolutionized how women think about motherhood and their own liberation. Exploring her own experience as a woman, a poet, a feminist, and a mother, Adrienne Rich combines wide-ranging research in anthropology, feminist theory, literature, and psychology with unsparing self-interrogation. The result is a work that, as National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author Eula Biss writes in a stirring new foreword, "lays bare the cultural and medical and economic practices that define motherhood, and exposes how our everyday experience of mothering is shaped by this enduring institution." With a contextualizing introduction from Dani McClain, a reporter and author whose work centers on reproductive health, race, and activism, Of Woman Born resounds with as much wisdom and insight today as when it was first written.
