An NPR and Times Literary Supplement Best Book of the Year, The Baby on the Fire Escape traverses the shifting terrain where motherhood and creativity converge. With fierce empathy, wit, and insight, award-winning biographer Julie Phillips evokes the intimate and varied struggles of brilliant artists and writers of the twentieth century-including Ursula K. Le Guin, Audre Lorde, Doris Lessing, and Alice Neel. Threading together vivid portraits of these pathbreaking women, Phillips develops a provocative meditation on maternal identity and artistic greatness, and illuminates some of the most pressing conflicts in contemporary life.
