I just read "In Our Hands". Deep. Cried.
She is so right-on, about mamas and "women's work" being what has allowed, their children to go to school, be radicals, be revolutionaries. it reminds me of what Allison Crews from (http://www.girl-mom.com/) said, about teen mamas, "Girls like me have raised presidents. We've raised messiahs and musicians, writers and settlers. Girls like me won't compromise, and we won't fail". Except June Jordan is saying it about black women, latinas, working class women, and how our movements, or free time to think and act, is built on their backs.
