Finally, here is an enlightening and empowering book that defines
motherhood from a feminist perspective and then explores the
implications of that definition. Feminist authors examine some of
women's full, rich, and varied thoughts and experiences about
motherhood. In contrast to the too often accepted male notions of
what constitutes a "good'mother or a "normal" family, this
important book presents a comprehensive and balanced view of
motherhood--as women have observed and experienced it. The major
issues surrounding motherhood today are closely examined--the
pervasive problem of mother-blaming and mother-hating and solutions
to overcome it; ageism, sexism, and motherhood; relationships
between mothers and daughters; relationships between stepmothers
and stepchildren; motherhood and sex roles within the family;
adoption; infertility; and childlessness. Special insight is also
provided into the concerns of women who are mothers--lesbians,
women of color, mothers of biracial children, and adoptive mothers
of children from different cultures. Woman-Defined Motherhood is
must reading for women, including both mothers and daughters, for
therapists and other professionals supporting women, and for anyone
interested in mothering.
