Mothers

“A daughter looking at her mother’s life is looking at her own, shaping and fitting one life to suit the needs of another. Some have shaped monsters and some angels. Most who make angels see their mother as the sources of art, the tree of creative life. We need to do this. We have always needed to do this… We need to find or make more women like ourselves. We need to find or make foremothers. And mothers.”
