Single Mothers Speak on Patriarchy - Paperback

by Trista Hendren (Author), Pat Daly (Editor)

More than 45 single mothers from around the world share their struggles and triumphs via essays, poems, art and critique. As Glenys Livingstone Ph.D. wrote in her review, "These are voices that need to be heard ... yet so many block their ears: the pain of memory and/or recognition may be too much. These stories speak a deep essential truth about the global cultural context for those engaged in maternal care, and where lies the illnesses of our times...This anthology furthers and encourages the speaking of women's truths, which often does indeed split the world open."
