"For over two years, I have raised my children in a war zone — feeding them in darkness, comforting them through explosions, and whispering stories of peace I’m not sure they’ll ever see. This is my story — and the story of so many women like me. Being a Mother in Gaza is a deeply personal account of raising life where death is everywhere. It’s about holding your baby while your home shakes. Teaching your toddler to laugh while you’re hiding from drones. Protecting innocence in a place that tries to destroy it. This is not a book about war. It’s a book about love — the kind of love only a mother in Gaza can truly understand."
Collection
Part of Born Digital Monographic Reports and Papers
Princeton University Library's (PUL) instance of DSpace once served as a digital repository meant for both archiving and publicly disseminating at-risk digital data which was identified and collected by members of the PUL community. In 2025, all items from both categories were migrated to Figgy - PUL's digital repository.
