Know about the book -

Motherhood Memoirs: Mothers Creating/Writing Lives is written by Justine Dymond and published by Demeter Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1926452925 (ISBN 10) and 9781926452920 (ISBN 13).

The authors in this collection examine and critique motherhood memoir, alongside the texts of their own lives, while seeking to transform mothering practice— highlighting revolutionary praxis within books, or, when none is available, creating new visions for social change. Many essays interrogate the tensions of maternal narrative—the negotiation of the historical location of writer and readers, narrative and linguistic constraints, and the slippery ground of memory—as well as the borders constructed between the “objective” scholar and the reader who engages with and identifies with texts through her intellect and her emotional being.
