What does it mean to create not in a room of one's own but in a domestic space? Do children and genius rule each other out? In The Baby on the Fire Escape award-winning biographer Julie Phillips traverses the shifting terrain where motherhood and creativity converge. With fierce empathy and vivid prose Phillips evokes the intimate struggles of brilliant artists and writers including Doris Lessing who had to choose between her motherhood and herself Ursula K. Le Guin who found productive stability in family life Audre Lorde whose queer polyamorous union allowed her to raise children on her own terms and Alice Neel who once to finish a painting was said to have left her baby on the fire escape of her New York apartment. A meditation on maternal identity and artistic greatness The Baby on the Fire Escape illuminates some of the most pressing conflicts in contemporary women's lives.
