"To give life, a mother sacrifices part of her own. This phenomenon, which is well known to biologists, is called maternal investment. The most striking example in the animal kingdom is the pink flamingo, which loses its color at the beginning of incubation, in a process of depigmentation caused by exhaustion. If one needed proof that motherhood is draining, the perfect name for this demonstration would be ‘The Pink Flamingo Theorem.’" Archeologist Jennifer Kerner’s playful, well-researched, and militant reflection aims for greater recognition of women’s lived experience.
