Angela Garbes, presents Like a Mother, a candid, feminist, and personal deep dive into the science and culture of pregnancy and motherhood, building from her viral essay about breast milk that appeared in The Stranger in 2015. In Like a Mother, Garbes offers a rigorously researched and compelling look at the physiology, biology, and psychology of pregnancy and motherhood, informed by in-depth reportage and personal experience. With the curiosity of a journalist, the perspective of a feminist, and the intimacy and urgency of a mother, she explores the emerging science behind the pressing questions women have about everything from miscarriage to complicated labors to postpartum changes. The result is a visceral, full-frontal look at what’s really happening during those nine life-altering months, and why women deserve access to better care, support, and information. Garbes discusses her book and the culture of motherhood with Emily Gould, author of Friendship and founder of Emily Books. A wine reception follows to celebrate the book’s launch.
