Mother’s Day

It’ll be mother’s day on Sunday; my wife’s third and my own mama’s 44th.

My mother helped make me a feminist; so much of my commitment to gender justice comes from what I learned from her. At nearly 74, she remains a source of inspiration in my life, and I delight in seeing her as a happy grandmother. Here’s my particular post of thanks to her: “My life doesn’t just revolve around you”: a note of gratitude for a feminist mom

Some other mom-themed posts of mine:
