"Love Your Mother is a beautiful ode to Mother Earth and a call to action for climate justice from diverse voices—a must-read!"

"Wrap yourself in this book like a lovingly made quilt. In bringing together these stories, Love Your Mother shows how many beautiful, powerful ways there are to do this work, and in doing so, it issues a warm invitation: Join us."

"This book is a mighty collection, a great read for anyone who cares deeply to care about Earth, community, and the climate crisis. Dr. McDuff offers up bite-size stories of inspiring climate action from across all fifty states, from a spectacularly diverse and accomplished group of women."

"Women have been at the forefront of the climate battle from the start, and this book is proof of it. If we have a fighting chance of coming through these decades, it's because of them!"

"Mallory McDuff does a beautiful job of taking us along the journey of women tackling the everyday task of living while protecting the planet and their communities. Whether mom, madre, mama, or mother-identifying person, all can find themselves within the words of each story."

"Expressed in these fifty stories is a wild love for Mother Earth and her children--a love for all of us, alive together, indivisible. These fierce American voices filled me with two emotions I had not allowed myself to experience in a long time: pride and hope."

"Through vivid, thoughtful storytelling, McDuff's profiles emphasize a timely truth: climate leadership isn't a monolith. Matriarchs, farmers, writers, rebels, scientists, doctors, innovators, influencers, teachers--all of us, in short--have a home in this movement, if we choose to seek it."

"Love Your Mother is a collection of unadulterated and unconditional love stories--for our fellow humans, for our children, for our mothers--and for Mother Earth. And who doesn't want to read a love story . . . or fifty!"

"Mallory McDuff's heartfelt portrayal of these inspiring women demonstrates the power of individuals to address the most consequential issue of our time--the climate crisis. Women, especially those from front-line communities, will bear this burden far more than others."

"I couldn't put it down. Each story is filled with the joys and struggles of women who are fully engaged in the climate movement. Surely their tenacity and resilience will spark further change across the country. I am deeply grateful for this book of hope for our times!"

"Yes, the women profiled here are investors, teachers, scientists, and farmers; but they are also mothers, daughters, volleyball players, cooks, and sculptors--and in sharing their stories, Mallory McDuff offers fifty examples of what we can do."

"Mallory McDuff offers a tapestry of beautiful stories about the kind of transformative love and momentum needed to usher in climate justice. These women in different communities and walks of life, understand the stakes of this moment because their daily lives are materially shaped by the climate crisis."

"From India's Bishnois women--the original tree huggers--to courageous Catholic sisters and more, women have played a vital leadership role in efforts to protect the planet. Mallory McDuff tells these stories with her characteristic verve and depth of belief."
