This collection considers how maternal regret, as it is conveyed in
remorse, resentment, dissatisfaction, and disappointment, troubles
the assumptions and mandates of normative motherhood and how it is
explored and critiqued in creative non-fiction, film, literature,
and social media. Maternal regret is also examined in relation to
the estrangement of mother and child and the remorse and grief felt
by both mothers and children caused by the abandonment of mother or
child. Finally, the collection explores how regret opens the space
for maternal erudition, enlightenment, and evolution; and makes
possible maternal empowerment. The book is organized by way of
these three sections: the first "Resistances" examines how maternal
regret as conveyed in remorse, disillusionment, and resentment
counters and corrects normative motherhood; the second,
"Renunciations" looks at how regret is experienced in mother-child
abandonment; and the third, "Reflections" explores how regret may
be an opportunity for maternal knowledge and power. Overall, the
collection serves to debunk and destroy the final taboo of
normative motherhood, that of maternal regret. Mothers voicing
regret, as journalist Kingston writes, "signals a large groundswell
of maternal reckoning, [one that] has been compared to the #MeToo
campaign."
