We’re sad to hear that after several years of publishing great writing (including this piece of Elrena‘s), Mamazine is shutting down to focus on other projects. We’re pleased that before stopping publication they had time to read Mama, PhD ; here’s an excerpt from Amy Anderson’s review:
Fortunately, while Mama, PhD
has many stories like mine, reading about others’ experiences made me feel (well, duh!) less alone. It also made me remember a few things. For one, I’ve been lucky enough to have department chairs who wholeheartedly support working parents with their words (“Bring that baby in!”) and their actions (“Sure, we can pay for a sub to cover your classes those weeks you’ll be recovering from a c-section.”) Many of the women whose essays are in this book don’t have that kind of support, and the consequences are often dramatic.
