Blurb: "My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness...
"Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance...And yet at other times I am melted with the sense of their helpless, charming and quite
irresistible beauty -their ability to go on loving and trusting -their staunchness and decency and unselfconsciousness.
I love them." - from Adrienne Rich's journal as a young mother.
"Splendid and serious..Adrienne Rich wants a better world for both men and women, one which honors both life and nurturing... one in which it is possible to raise children." - Houston Post”
