Motherhood Memoirs: Mothers Creating/Writing Lives
The authors in this collection examine and critique motherhood memoir, alongside the texts of their own lives, while seeking to transform mothering practice— highlighting revolutionary praxis within books, or, when none is available, creating new visions for social change.

Exploring New Roles for Librarians
Librarians have been providing support to researchers for many years, typically with a focus on responding to researchers’ needs for access to the existing literature.
