Mother & author of Liberating Motherhood. Wearer of Purplestockings

Vanessa is the author of the Politics of Mothering, a political pamphlet, and Liberating Motherhood: Birthing the Purplestockings Movement - on mothers, feminism and western culture. The book will be published 23 September 2016 by Womancraft Publishing.

She has two children. A lawyer for a few years before enjoying a career as a law reporter for a legal publishing company, she decided to stay at home when her son was born as they, quite simply, could not bear to be separated from each other. Such is love.
