In Of Woman Born, originally published in 1976, influential poet and feminist Adrienne Rich examines the patriarchic systems and political institutions that define motherhood. Exploring her own experience? as a woman, a poet, a feminist, and a mother? she finds the act of mothering to be both determined by and distinct from the institution of motherhood as it is imposed on all women everywhere. A ? powerful blend of research, theory, and self-reflection? (Sandra M. Gilbert, Paris Review), Of Woman Born revolutionized how women thought about motherhood and their own liberation. With a stirring new foreword from National Book Critics Circle Award? winning writer Eula Biss, the book resounds with as much wisdom and insight today as when it was first written.
Adrienne Rich (1929-2012) was an award-winning poet, influential essayist, radical feminist, and major public intellectual of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. She wrote two dozen volumes of poetry, including the National Book Award-winning Diving into the Wreck, and more than a half-dozen of prose. Eula Biss is the author of three acclaimed books, including On Immunity. She lives in Illinois.
