So you've given or got the flowers or the breakfast in bed, but how about the daily realities of motherhood..

  • Are you a real woman if you haven't had kids?

  • Is motherhood a gift, a trap, or somehow both?

  • Does the commodification of motherhood and children matter?

  • How do you survive the motherhood workload and stay sane?

  • Is there a good argument for regarding womb envy as the basis of misogyny?

And that's just for starters ... Bring your own thoughts and questions, and let's have the conversations you won't find on a Mother's Day card !

Should be lively.

Will be thought-provoking.

We'd love YOU to join us.
