$15.00

Judith Arcana is an American writer of poems, stories, essays and books. She was a teacher for forty years and her writing has appeared in journals and anthologies since the early 1980s. She has been an activist for reproductive justice since spending two years in the Jane Collective, Chicago’s underground abortion service (1970–72). Arcana is notable for her insistence on the organically political nature of art and literature. Her two prose books about motherhood – Our Mothers’ Daughters (1979) and Every Mother’s Son (1983) – are radical feminist analysis; both have been read, taught and discussed for many years in the US, Canada and the UK
