Mary Church Terrell, Reproductive Loss and the Meaning of Motherhood
Original: Mary Church Terrell, Reproductive Loss, and the Meaning of Motherhood
A new essay examines Mary Church Terrell, the pioneering African American suffragist and civil rights activist, through the lens of her experiences of reproductive loss and how she understood motherhood. The piece connects her private grief to broader questions about Black women's lives, activism and family in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, adding a personal dimension to her well-known public legacy.
Why now: Renewed interest in historical Black women's perspectives on motherhood and reproductive rights resonates with current debates.
