There's something about those hidden mother portraits that really tugs at my heart. Maybe it's because I'm still struggling to find my identity as a newer mother (almost 17 months postpartum) and I sometimes feel like them, a dark void in the background. Being a mother is my favorite thing in the world and has been the single most transformative experience in my entire life. However, amidst the joys and challenges, I find myself unsure of where I truly fit in the world right now.

Thank you for this! I especially liked learning about the Hidden Mothers!! As feminists who champion women how can we not champion mothers?? This is a bone I’ve had to pick since the 1970s!!!
