The Maternal is Political

By Amy Mercer

Check out the write up of LM columnist (Zen and the Art of Child Maintanence) Shari MacDonald Strong’s new anthology, The Maternal is Political in Susie Bright’s Journal. Bright has an essay in the anthology and writes a brief summary of some contributors such as Marion Winik, (LM’s) Ona Gritz, Mary Akers, Cindy Sheehan, and Rebecca Walker of who she says,

“I might not have jumped in to read this chapter, except that Rebecca recently made Tabloid Headlines in the Daily Mail of London. She described her mother, Alice Walker— an icon of American literature and feminism— as an incompetent, narcissistic, bitch, who abandoned her daughter for celebrity and the chance to live as a “feminist,” i.e, a woman unencumbered by motherhood.”
