Maternal Thinking: Gifts, Mothers' Bodies, and Earth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781960922991)

Maternal Thinking: Gifts, Mothers' Bodies, and Earth, the fourth book of proceedings of conferences held by the Association of the Study of Women and Mythology (ASWM), is an instructional guide to saving ourselves and our planet. Many pre-historic, and even contemporary cultures, especially Indigenous communities, feature "Maternal Thinking." Such cultures perceive that societies are successful when they center qualities associated with mothering: care, nurturance, cooperation, and meeting everyone's basic needs while respecting Earth and reciprocating nature's generosity.
