With child / Phyllis Chesler interviewed by Anita Frankel

Phyllis Chesler, feminist and author of "Woman and madness," "Women, money, and power," and "About men," speaks with Anita Frankel of KPFK about her new book "With child: a diary of motherhood" (Crowell, 1979), a record of pregnancy and childbirth which is as much about the birth of a mother as it is about the birth of a child. The narrative includes all the problems and the poetry of an active, professional woman experiencing childbearing -- the aloneness, the joy, the relationship with her husband who promises to "mother" the child equally, the problems of childcare, and more.
