Antonella Gambotto-Burke's first influential work of nonfiction about motherhood, Mama: Love, Motherhood and Revolution is an anthology of personal essays and interviews with some of the world's leading experts on family and childcare,[1] including Sheila Kitzinger, Steve Biddulph, Stephanie Coontz, Gabor Mate, and others.
A number of the essays were previously published in different editions of Vogue (magazine) and Elle (magazine). Professor Michel Odent wrote the foreword.[2][3]
Identified as one of the most empowering feminist quotes of all time, the book's most famous line is, "Life without femininity - devoid of mystery, emotion, gentleness and the unerring power of a woman's love - is no life at all."[4]
