Unveiling Motherhood: Jennifer Case Challenges the Politics and Nature Behind Our Most Sacred Bond
HMM: Are you surprised to have written so many essays, this whole book, about motherhood?
JC: I think so. I was trained as an environmental writer. That’s what I wanted to be. Motherhood just kind of came at me sideways. Once I became a mother I suddenly had all of these questions about motherhood, and found I couldn’t write about other topics. I needed to tackle the questions I had about motherhood, through the lenses that I used in the book.
HMM: I loved how you explored power and privilege and control throughout this book. How did putting together these essays shape how you think about and write about control and privilege?
