Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and InstitutionW. W. Norton & Company, 1995 M04 17 - 352 pages Adrienne Rich's influential and landmark investigation concerns both the experience and the institution of motherhood.

She draws on personal materials, history, research, and literature to create a document of universal importance. |
