""The Reproduction of Mothering was that rare book that had a major
impact on two different constituencies: feminists and
psychoanalysts. It was a must-read in 1978, putting
object-relations theory on the map in the United States, and it
remains a must-read today. It continues to shape the thinking of
analysts and feminists today, and it is one of the key texts
available that links psyche and culture, psychoanalysis and
sociology."--Ethel Spector Person, M.D., author of "The Sexual
Century
"The book that created a Copernican Revolution in gender theory.
. . . From literature to political science, from disciples to
critics, no feminist theory has been untouched by Chodorow's bold
and brilliant reconfiguration."--Susan Bordo, author of "Unbearable
Weight and "The Male Body
""The Reproduction of Mothering represents the boldest attempt
to realign psychoanalysis and feminism in the late 20th
century."--Mari Jo Buhle, author of "Feminism and Its
Discontents
"It is difficult to imagine the shape that feminist literary
criticism might have taken in the last twenty years without the
enabling influence of "The Reproduction of Mothering. The
importance of Chodorow's work cannot be overestimated."--Marianne
Hirsch, author of "The Mother/Daughter Plot
""The Reproduction of Mothering is a classic in its field, a
book that has profoundly affected the course of psychoanalytic
feminism."--Madelon Sprengnether, author of "The Spectral
Mother
"Nancy Chodorow's "The Reproduction of Mothering has been an
invaluable companion to me over the years. In theorizing the
cultural situation of literary men as well as literary women, I've
often turned to Chodorow's revisionary readings of Freud,
hermeticulous accounts of the dynamics of mothering, and, more
generally, her innvotative discussions of sexual
sociology."--Sandra M. Gilbert, coauthor of "The Madwoman in the
Attic
"A groundbreaking book, "The Reproduction of Mothering has
shaped feminist literary criticism since it was published.
Chodorow's insights revolutionized the ways in which femininity
itself was and is understood."--Susan Gubar, coauthor of "The
Madwoman in the Attic
