Of Woman Born

<p>Eva gets into Adrienne Rich's 1976 book "Of Woman Born" and talks about radical feminist approaches to motherhood. We discuss the narrow definition of Rich's "mother" figure, Black feminist responses to her concepts, and the Texas abortion ban. Plus, a rundown on the censored Judith Butler interview in the <em>Guardian.</em></p> <p><em>*Content warning*: This episode contains discussion of abortion, infanticide, and mental health struggle.</em></p> <p><em>Cover image painting by Chantal Joffe, 2004</em></p> <p><strong>Reading List:</strong></p> <p>Judith Butler Interview with Jules Gleeson <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/sep/07/judith-butler-interview-gender"><u>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/sep/07/judith-butler-interview-gender</u></a><u>; </u>The portion of the Interview that was deleted by <em>The Guardian </em><a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/55912898"><u><em>https://www.patreon.com/posts/55912898</em></u></a></p> <p><em>Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution</em>, Adrienne Rich, 1976 <a href="https://archive.org/details/ofwomanbornmothe00rich/page/n7/mode/2up"><u>https://archive.org/details/ofwomanbornmothe00rich/page/n7/mode/2up</u></a></p> <p><em>From Motherhood to Mothering: The Legacy of Adrienne Rich's Of Woman Born, </em>edited by Andrea O'Reilly, 2004 <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/336903061/Andrea-O-Reilly-From-Motherhood-to-Mothering-Th-BookZZ-org"><u>https://www.scribd.com/document/336903061/Andrea-O-Reilly-From-Motherhood-to-Mothering-Th-BookZZ-org</u></a></p> <p><em>The Meaning of Motherhood in Black Culture and Black Mother-Daughter Relationships, </em>Patricia Hill Collins, 1987 <a href="https://www.proquest.com/docview/1300131753?pq-origsite=gscholar&amp;fromopenview=true"><u>https://www.proquest.com/docview/1300131753?pq-origsite=gscholar&amp;fromopenview=true</u></a></p> <p><em>Motherhood Reconceived: Feminism and the Legacies of the Sixties</em>, Lauri Umansky, 1996 <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Mothe
