100 Must-Read Books About Mothers and Motherhood

"Just like in life, mothers in literature vary in every way imaginable. They vary by race, nationality, and religion. They vary by personality. They vary by sexual orientation and gender identity. Some have always wanted to be mothers. Others had other, conflicting goals. Depending on the genre of book, their stories vary wildly too." Here's Book Riot's list of must-read books about mothers and motherhood. Have you read many of these?
