Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“Jason Porath manages to be simultaneously irreverent and respectful in this delightfully illustrated collection of vignettes, which explore all the ways a woman can be tough. Tough Mothers is packed with inspirational, cautionary, and sometimes difficult stories of the power of mothers through the centuries and around the world.” — Tracy V. Wilson and Holly Frey, Hosts of Stuff You Missed In History Class “The stories of the forgotten women herein have nourished me in a way I’m having difficulty articulating, sating a hunger I didn’t know I had. I needed these women. In all their glorious imperfection, they have made me stronger. And now I am hungry for more.” — Kelly Sue DeConnick, author Of Bitch Planet, Pretty Deadly, and Captain Marvel “Porath draws these moms in all their variety, creating cartoony illustrations that are cinematic, upbeat, and inspiring.” — Booklist
