April 18, 2000 | The Mothers Who Think site on Salon.com offers smart, provocative writing that speaks to mothers through diverse perspectives, provocative interviews, online discussions of hot-button issues, select fiction and intensely personal stories. Mothers Who Think looks at the myths and realities, serious and silly sides, thankless and supremely satisfying aspects of being a mother.

5/16/00: Million Mom March.
"Mothers, we have shed tears for our children," Patricia Anderson of Albuquerque, NM, whose son was a victim of gun violence and survived, told the crowd. "Let's make our tears a raging river of votes to get our legislators out of office if they do not want stricter gun controls."

5/9/00: A tale of two mothers.
My mother was a chain-smoking, champagne-swilling braless art mom. My best friend's mother was June Cleaver. They both suffered -- and made difficult choices.

5/2/00: I owe my life to hash browns.
The first time my dad ever called my mom, he said, "I love hashed brown potatoes!" when she answered the phone. No "Hello." No "Um, this is Buzz Brandeis, we met the other night at the Quadrangle Club?" Just a bright, enthusiastic, "I love hashed brown potatoes!"

4/25/00: Letting go of Thomas.
A lawyer tries to prevent the ultimate abuse of a tiny victim.

4/18/00: One woman's experience with: Passover.
"We all believed in an unspoken liturgy of family love ... we pay homage to Passover because it involves dinner. In my family, food is divine."
