Becoming a mother charts the diverse and complex history of
Australian mothering for the first time, exposing the ways it has
been both connected to and distinct from parallel developments in
other industrialised societies. In many respects, the historical
context in which Australian women come to motherhood has changed
dramatically since 1945. And yet examination of the memories of
multiple maternal generations reveals surprising continuities in
the emotions and experiences of first-time motherhood. Drawing upon
interdisciplinary insights from anthropology, history, psychology
and sociology, Carla Pascoe Leahy unpacks this multifaceted rite of
passage through more than 60 oral history interviews, demonstrating
how maternal memories continue to influence motherhood today.
Despite radical shifts in understandings of gender, care and
subjectivity, becoming a mother remains one of the most personally
and culturally significant moments in a woman's life. -- .
