Biography about mothers

You do not have to submit a story to our Archive in order to write about your mother. But we would love it if you did.

You do not need to tell anyone you are writing about your mother.

But later on you may wish to share.

• to honour your mother
• to lay her memory to rest
• to chronicle her life into stories you can share

• to separate her experiences and perspectives from your own
• to bring to light the truth of what happened
• to document the times she lived in and the choices she made

Why Share her Story?
