The Responsibilities of Women
About
In Emily Perkins’ book Lioness, protagonist Therese Thorne asks, ‘Who are you if you’re not looking after someone?’ But what happens when women’s ambitions clash with responsibilities? Can we love other people’s children as if they were our own? Will the mental load ever be shared equally between the sexes? Kate Mildenhall, Kylie Needham and Emily Perkins explore these questions and more in their recent fiction. They interrogate womanhood, motherhood, and ‘otherhood’ with Anna Downes.Location
