Motherload: a pandemic experience is a collection of essays, stories, and poetry written by women, by mothers. It documents their experience as mothers fighting for a better future for their children and Mother Earth during the first global pandemic of the 21st century. The works range from heartfelt and tender, to comedic and fantastical, and represent the diverse struggles and joys of parenting during an unprecedented moment in world history. Their words serve to uplift the lived experience of the writers themselves but also, as documentation for their children this historic moment in time. The eleven contributors have woven a beautiful web of sisterhood through their words and "Motherload: a pandemic experience" captures their strength and resilience in this unique collection edited by Maureen Moore, with artwork and original illustrations by Carolyn Castaño.
