Making modern mothers (Paperback)

Late modern social theory suggests that women are now liberated from traditional family ties yet remain compelled by parenting. In the light of recent social changes, what has changed and what has remained the same for women as mothers? This study presents a timely account of the dynamic relationship between the past, the present, and the future in the making of modern motherhood. The book includes interviews and case studies with women from a wide range of backgrounds and generations within the same families. It looks at the impact of social structures on motherhood as an identity, including class, ethnicity, and social mobility. The Making of Modern Motherhood includes an additional online resource with 'bonus' image material, review questions, and analysis.
