Of Woman Born by Adrienne Rich
Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution by Adrienne Rich. 1976 Norton, first edition, 318 pages. According to Rich's obituary in the New York Times: "Adrienne Rich, a poet of towering reputation and towering rage, whose work — distinguished by an unswerving progressive vision and a dazzling, empathic ferocity — brought the oppression of women and lesbians to the forefront of poetic discourse and kept it there for nearly a half-century." Of Woman Born was her first book of prose and was groundbreaking in its frank discussion of motherhood.
