Recs if you like All My Mother's Lovers...

although i am not jewish myself, i believe thoroughly that zionism is not a requirement for judaism and therefore it must be accepted to proudly support jewish voices against the genocide. here are some books by anti-zionist authors to support this jewish american heritage month and beyond!

inspired by @beforeviolets on instagram

Fiction & nonfiction books that explore the complexities and traumas of mother-child relationships or in which such relationships play a central role. While many books on this list are what I’d classify as including “mommy issues” there are others that are more about the different perspectives and nuances of the mother-child (often specifically mother-daughter) relationship. Some books center the child, some the mother, some both.

Suggestions are welcome.

This week is Jewish Book Week! To celebrate, we compiled a list of our favorite books with queer Jewish characters. Also includes queer books by Jewish authors that don't necessarily include obvious Jewish representation. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

the complicated inheritance of being someone's daughter. maternal wounds, generational trauma, inherited neuroses, impossible expectations, and the many ways love can leave a mark. mothers we love, resent, misunderstand, and spend a lifetime trying to figure out. daughters caught between becoming their mothers, disappointing them, and figuring out who they are without them. // some family issues require a little more than a family group chat.

— suggestions always welcome!

As a sapphic kind-of-Jew, I'm always looking for this specific rep! I'm very open to suggestions to add to this list :)

(no z!onists pls)
