Adrienne Rich's groundbreaking feminist work examines motherhood as an institution and experience, challenging patriarchal structures that shape women's reproductive lives. Through poetry, personal reflection, and cultural analysis, Rich interrogates how society controls and mythologizes the maternal body.
