Helen Charman: The Politics of Motherhood

Critic, poet, and academic Helen Charman understands motherhood not as an identity, but as a state of possibility. Her new book Mother State re-examines the history of motherhood in the UK, from the Women’s Liberation movement of the 1970s until the austerity of the 2010s. In this enlightening event, Charman discusses the power and potential in understanding mothering as a political act with Daisy Lafarge.
