The book aims to broaden understanding of the diverse positions and
meanings of motherhood by investigating understudied and
marginalized mothers (rural itinerant, African American, and Irish
Catholic American) between 1920 and 1960. Fuelled by anxieties
around feminism, a perception of men's loss of status and
masculinity, racial tensions, and fears about immigration,
"antimaternalism" discourse blamed mothers for a wide range of
social ills in the first half of the 20th Century. Mothering, Time,
and Antimaternalism considers the ideas, practices, and depictions
of antimaternalism, and the ways that mothers responded. Religion,
class, race, ethnicity, gender, and immigration status are all
analysed as factors shaping maternal experience. The book develops
the historical context of American motherhood between 1920 and
1960, examining how changing ideas - scientific motherhood, time
efficiency, devaluation of domesticity, racial and religious bias -
influenced the construction and experiences of motherhood. This is
a fascinating and important book suitable for students and scholars
in history, gender studies, cultural studies and sociology.
