Last week, I spent time working on one of the webpages on my new website. The site is still very much under construction, but I have been blogging from it, while I build it. It’s a big dream website, where I am trying to showcase various skills, abilities, and goals in one place, while preparing for my next endeavor.

The page I finished is called Information wants to be free! and it highlights my work with my most recent employer, Pima County Public Library. In 2022, I wrote three “Three Books on a Theme” blog postings for the library website. (Click through to my website to see all three listed).

The final blog post I wrote, is the one I want to highlight for Women’s History Month. It’s called “Enraged Mothers” and features two fiction and one non-fiction book that offer current perspectives on mothering in the United States.

While women’s history is made up of much more than just mothering, mothering is a huge part of history in general and is often overlooked or ignored by patriarchal historians. Without parents, families, and tribes (women included!), there would be no history. (Although, we really should call it ourstory).
