The year 2009 marks twenty years since the publication of Sara
Ruddick's monumental text Maternal Thinking: Toward a Politics of
Peace, a book that is regarded, along with Adrienne Rich's Of Woman
Born, as the most significant work in maternal scholarship and the
new field of Motherhood Studies. What made Maternal Thinking so
life-changing and ground-breaking was that it foregrounded what all
mothers know: motherwork is inherently and profoundly an
intellectual activity and theorized the obvious: Mothers think.
This volume, published to commemorate and celebrate the twentieth
anniversary of the publication of Maternal Thinking, explores the
impact and influence this book has had on maternal scholarship and
revisits what motherhood scholars regard as the pivotal insights of
Ruddick's text: motherwork is a practice that gives rise to and is
informed by "maternal thinking"; mothering, as a practice, is
composed of and characterized by particular characteristics; this
work is not defined by or reducible to gender; and maternal
thinking makes possible a politics a peace. The volume includes 17
contributors from disciplines as diverse as anthropology,
sociology, literature, philosophy, education, women's studies and
psychology and features a conversation with and an epilogue by Sara
Ruddick.
