Divided into 15 chapters, this book provides the reader with an
insight into certain representations of mothers and motherhood in
history and today's societies in some areas of the world, notably
in Britain and Asia. Key facts about the history of motherhood are
presented, together with the use of very recent notions and phrases
portraying 'good' and 'bad' mothers. An analysis of the concepts of
naming and blaming, along with regret with respect to mothers in
21st century societies, provides food for thought. Other issues
addressed are varied and numerous: the politics of early
intervention, feminist critique, mothers with disabilities and
mothers of disabled children, incarcerated mothers, surrogate
mothers, teenage mothers, lesbian mothers, and mothering in Eastern
Asia, namely in China, Japan, and Korea. Interestingly, both visual
arts and literature play a crucial role in this analysis. The
publication will appeal to students, academics, researchers, and
the general public interested in and seeking to comprehend the
shifts that have occurred over time in connection with the vast and
inexhaustible subject of motherhood and mothers - a private and
public matter. Readers are also provided with a rich reference
section dealing with the latest publications on the issues tackled
by prominent academics and researchers in human geography, women's
studies, sociology, gender studies, contemporary history, and the
arts.
