This spring is as busy as ever for our WNBA-NYC members! Read below for all the exciting things they’ve done – and the interesting things they have coming up.
Deborah Batterman published a new Kindle e-book, just in time for Mother’s Day. Because My Name is Mother reminds us in brief linked essays that every mother is a daughter too. The insights she brings to simple acts like looking at old photographs, recalling the smells and tastes of her mother’s cooking, making her daughter’s bed or shopping with her, are as beautifully rendered as they are profound.
