Unveiling Motherhood: Jennifer Case Challenges the Politics and Nature Behind Our Most Sacred Bond
HMM: Is there anything else I have asked you about that you’ll like to talk about or share?
JC: One of the things that I thought about a lot with this book is audience. I think people often assume that something about early motherhood in particular will only be of interest to mothers or women. As I was writing the book, I didn’t think of the audience as only women or only mothers. I wanted the essays to have the capacity to engage and compel readers who might choose never to become mothers, or men, or young adults, or older adults, and to frame motherhood and the issues and policies that affect motherhood as an issue that affects us all. That was a goal of mine from the start. My hope is that it can reach a broad audience, and the writing and the different forms of essays can compel more than just mothers—though I know it will especially speak to mothers with young children, and that’s also a wonderful thing.
