New book in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the publication of
Adrienne Rich's Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution,
edited by Andrea O'Reilly, published by Demeter Press (a new feminist
press specializing in books about mothering/motherhood).
The year 2001 marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of Adrienne
Rich's Of Woman Born. In celebration, Demeter Press will be publishing
an edited volume that explores how this landmark and far-reaching book
has shaped and influenced maternal scholarship over the last 25 years.
In particular, the collection will examine how Of Woman Born informs our
thinking on topics as diverse as pregnancy, childbirth, abortion,
mother-daughter/mother-son relationships, mothering and motherhood as
they are lived, researched and represented across cultures and time.
We welcome submissions from a variety of perspectives: literary,
sociological, psychological, anthropological, and in a variety of
formats: narrative inquiry, theory, literary analysis, etc. Chapters are
to be 15-20 pages in length and in MLA format.
