Lecture Julie Phillips

Biographer Julie Phillips talks about her book The Baby on the Fire Escape. Creativity, Motherhood, and the Mind-Baby Problem at the Centraal Museum.

“The experience of motherhood loses nearly everything in its translation to the outside world. In motherhood a woman exchanges her public significance for a range of private meanings, and like sounds outside a certain range they can be very difficult for other people to identify.”

-Julie Phillips
