My Inconvenient Body

| Tags: | Writing, Feminism, Motherhood |
| Description: | While participating in an art form that elevates the mind, the abstract, and general, it is difficult not to find the body–with its inescapable and messy specifics–somewhat inconvenient. Especially when you are a woman. Especially when you are a woman who just had a baby. My name is Elisha Webster Emerson. I am a feminist, writer, and new mother. I was vehemently opposed to having children, and then my IUD took a sick day. Now, I am learning how to embrace my motherhood, while remaining a serious and uncompromised artist. I hope to share this process through my blog. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy. |
