“Let’s just call what happened in the eighties the reclamation of motherhood . . . by women I knew and loved, hard-driving women with major careers who were after not just babies per se or motherhood per se, but after a reconciliation with their memories of their own mothers.

Every gift that science has given them has been twisted into a thing of hate and greed.”
—Karl Brown (1897–1990)
