BirthLove-The Revolutionary Passion of Mothering. From their site:
"The passion of mothering is not a New Age idea... it's a Stone
Age absolute. Deep within us is a fantastic pulse of ferocious love:
it binds us to our babies, and makes us vigilant in their lifelong
care. This pulse has been eroded by the institutionalization of
many basic life events; most significantly, childbirth and learning.
Instead of ancient mothers selfishly guarding the individual loves
and virtues of our children, we become modern custodians for the
state- breeders and caregivers of an easily manipulated populace."
