In A Woman Is a Woman Until She Is a Mother, Anna Prushinskaya explores the deep life shifts of pregnancy, birth and motherhood in the United States, a world away from the author’s Soviet homeland. Drawing from inspirations as various as midwife Ina May Gaskin, writer and activist Alice Walker, filmmaker Sophia Kruz and frontierswoman Caroline Henderson, Prushinskaya captures the inherent togetherness of motherhood alongside its accompanying estrangement. She plumbs the deeper waters of compassion, memory and identity, as well as the humorous streams of motherhood as they run up against the daily realities of work and the ever-present eye of social media. How will I return to my life? Prushinskaya asks, and answers by returning us to our own ordinary, extraordinary lives a little softer, a little wiser, and a little less certain of unascertainable things.

Now I think that children are more

    When one is skin-to-skin with a baby, the membrane between humans, between one consciousness and another, is thin, seems permeable. The body of writing about motherhood, or feminism, is a body. As is the body of writing about pain and compassion. Women who exemplify pain are sometimes saints and sometimes witches; they are sometimes as ordinary as a mother.

    worse, more compassion or less? More selfishness? I have been self-assessing. When I do not mind caring for my son and I am exhausted, and when I do. When I hoard my time with him, and when I run away.
