An Anthology of Babes: 36 Women Give Motherhood a Voice

An Anthology of Babes: 36 Women Give Motherhood a Voice is a collection of writings and art about mothering by women who are also artists. Do you pause during the course of a normal batshit busy day to wonder, "Will I ever finish a full sentence again?" or "Is it possible to resurrect my own voice amid the din of this crowd that persists in following me, even unto the bathroom?" These 36 women have finished a few sentences for you to be inspired by and to assure you that, yes, it is possible and even, really important for you to finish that row of knitting or write that story. In the words of Audre Lorde, "The farthest horizons of our hopes and fears are cobbled by our poems, carved from the rock experiences of our daily lives." Enclosed in this book are peeks in to the daily lives of some extraordinary women. Come join the circle.
