How different would your life be if your priority were love? In
this groundbreaking book, Antonella Gambotto-Burke encourages a
complete re-evaluation of motherhood, showing that our lack of
respect for maternal love is at the root of our widespread
dissatisfaction with modern life. Written from the heart of a woman
who was herself revolutionised by her experience of motherhood,
this is a book that challenges, comforts and inspires, offering
positive solutions through personal revelation and intellectual
exploration with some of the greatest visionaries of childcare.
Mama is not only the key to a better world, but to a better
relationship - with yourself, your child and your life.
Woman as comestible. Woman as kingmaker. Woman as oblivion. Why is
our culture governed by the principle of separation? Beginning with
a devastating exploration of the 1960s, understood up until now as
the era of female liberation, free love and the tribal sharing of
drugs, Antonella Gambotto-Burke deconstructs the past two centuries
and shows how we are, in fact, moving towards the age of the
Nietzschean ubermensch, in which femininity will, if we do not
change, be erased. She skilfully draws together diverse threads,
from the shockingly personal to the broadest societal trends and
cutting-edge scientific research, to construct a brilliant and
startling thesis that medicinal and recreational drugs have rewired
our bodies and brains to an near-incomprehensible extent. Anxiety,
artificial wombs, brutality, the class system, depression, dieting,
racism and other issues - including the first plausible theory for
rubber fetishism and other 'kinks' such as choking or breathplay -
are explained within the context of the dominant cultural paradigm.
A devastating uppercut to a patriarchal ideology that has marred
billions of lives, Apple: Sex, Drugs, Motherhood and the Recovery
of the Feminine completely revises our understanding of addiction,
art, drug use, homosexuality, murder, pornography, sex, war, and,
critically, the significance of birth, infancy and motherhood in
relation to human existence. You will never see anything the same
way again.
