Unveiling Motherhood: Jennifer Case Challenges the Politics and Nature Behind Our Most Sacred Bond
When Jennifer Case, an environmental writer and mother, set out to write We Are Animals: On the Nature and Politics of Motherhood, she tapped into a timeless yet suddenly urgent question: How do mothers navigate the wild, tangled web of control and chaos, especially in those early, sleepless days? Written amid the political upheaval surrounding reproductive rights and deeply personal trials of unintended pregnancy, her book unspools centuries of expectations and regulations imposed on motherhood — all while weaving in lessons from the animal kingdom that might just offer a glimmer of reprieve and resilience. What’s truly striking here is not just the candid exploration of motherhood’s struggles, but the deft way Case invites every reader — mother or not — to reflect on the shared experience of power, loss, and identity. After all, isn’t motherhood, in many ways, the original balancing act of control and surrender?
