Kudos to the writers for breaking the 'maternal silence' to foreground matricentric feminism!"—Agnes M. Brazal. professor and research fellow, De la Salle University, Philippines"From the sorrows and joys of maternal experiences around the world, these editors and authors offer a wider and deeper vision for grounding incarnational theologies in the embodied realities of everyday existence."—Elizabeth O'Donnell Gandolfo, associate professor of Catholic and Latin American studies, Wake Forest University School of Divinity"This book offers a profound exploration of motherhood as a theological journey. These brave and candid essays challenge patriarchal norms and present motherhood as a transformative lens for theological reflection."—Judith Gruber, associate professor of systematic theology, KU Leuven, Belgium"Brilliantly intersectional, nuanced, and insightful.
