Mothers Writing

"Mothers write, and they write fiction as well as personal statements." (p.633)

I found this overarching quote very interesting. In my eyes, it suggested that women's personal experiences as mothers are shown through in their writing.

In class, we discussed how experiences with mothers influence how you parent your own child. In this respect and an angle in looking at Suleiman's quote is to say writing becomes like a child to a woman writer. It suggests that women writer as daughters and as mothers. It ties back into the introduction in that we write as daughters because we are influenced my our mothers and essentially become like our mothers or the complete opposite. Regardless, we are influenced by our experiences and so our writing is.
