Motherhood in Patriarchy pioneers the argument that the current
Western understanding of motherhood is a patriarchal one based on a
long historical tradition of subjection and institutionalization.
It makes an important contribution to women's studies on
reproduction, motherhood, and welfare politics. The book breaches a
taboo within feminist political theory and offers a fundamentally
divergent understanding of the concepts of nature, culture, and
body, as well as the idea of mothers as a political force. The
approach is inter-disciplinary, encompassing the fields of
matriarchal studies, feminist political theory and philosophy,
critique of reason, history, and psychoanalysis. The book proceeds
from the historical fact that the Greek political concept was
violently imposed on the existing matriarchal social structures,
which were organized around female clans, and eventually replaced
the older matriarchal structures. Motherhood in Patriarchy
demonstrates that new technologies, as well as the dominant
economic and political structures, are all parts of the attempt of
patriarchy to eliminate the creative capacity of the world, of life
and nature, to replace it with supposedly better forms of life and
forms of nature. Contents include: Patriarchal Motherhood * Mothers
in Feminist Political Theory and Philosophy * Matriarchy as
Maternal Order * Historic Transformations of Birth and Motherhood *
On the Historical Development of the Concepts of Nature, Body,
Time, and the Individual * Mothers in Psychoanalysis * Developments
of Reproductive Technology and Feminist Criticism * Feminist
Strategies to Oppose the Animosity towards Mothers * The
Matriarchal Order
