Books, essays, and literary discoveries that shape how I think about motherhood.
From nineteenth-century novels to contemporary memoirs, essays and fiction, I read widely about motherhood, identity, women's lives, and the experiences that don't always find their way into familiar narratives.
Here, I'll share the books that challenge me, the writing that stays with me, and the ideas I keep returning to.
Some will be recommendations. Others will be questions, disagreements, or reflections on what a particular text reveals about the way we understand motherhood.
