Another Mother gives voice to women who become mothers through the
routes of adoption, surrogacy and egg donation, and their silent
partners – the birth mothers, surrogate mothers and egg donors
– who make motherhood possible for them. Exploring experiences of
motherhood beyond the biological mother raising her child,
Everington draws on interviews and a range of interdisciplinary
approaches to produce illuminating personal testimonies which
expand our understanding of what it means to be a mother. The life
writing narratives also examine the unique and hidden relationships
that exist between adopters and birth mothers, egg donors and women
who become mothers through egg donation, and surrogates and women
who become mothers through surrogacy. Offering a fresh approach to
life writing, using hybrid form encompassing edited interview,
re-imagined scenes, poetry, personal essay and quotation collage,
this topical book is recommended for anyone interested in
motherhood studies, gender and women’s studies, life writing
studies, the sociology of reproduction, creative non-fiction
writing approaches, oral history and ethnography studies.
