I read the chapter on Mary Wollstonecraft in Jennifer Banks' Natality over the weekend (which is stunning!) An extraordinary woman, but a life full of heartbreak.

"Motherhood is venerated in places like the United States except when it comes time to pay the bill from the maternity ward, offer maternity leave, feed a mother’s children, or come up with solutions to the child-care conundrum." — Jennifer Banks commonwealmagazine.org/natality-morta…

What an absolutely beautiful cover! Can’t wait to read this: (ht Jennifer Banks) yalebooks.yale.edu/9780300254723/…

A brilliant and timely book on a profound yet underexplored topic — perhaps the most fundamental topic of all. Congratulations and gratitude to Jennifer Banks wwnorton.com/books/97813240…

The stunningly complex behaviour of plants has led to a new way of thinking about our world: "Plant philosophy. ⁦Sumana Roy⁩ ⁦Jennifer Banks⁩ ⁦Sukhada⁩ ⁦Sukhada Tatke⁩ search.app/aYupAkfXbPasub…

This extraordinary book came out in May, and I keep returning to it. It has taught me so many things – about language, infancy, the nature of consciousness, the new aesthetic power of old religious symbols – but also this: that it can take a century to get your work published.

Finally!! Can’t wait to read this 🥰📚🥳 Michael S Roth Jennifer Banks
