Feminist theory on motherhood has successfully transformed mothers
into subjects of their own discourse, recognized the historical,
heterogeneous and socially constructed origins of their life
experience while, at the same time, widening our understanding of
the notion of mothering. This collection combines a literary and a
wider cultural perspective from which to look at the topic of the
representation of other or forgotten motherhoods. Mothers who have
been forced to live exiled and away from their children, women who
after trying to conceive, get pregnant but discover they cannot
bear to become mothers, or even literary characters based on an
autobiographical experience of a sexually abusive mother. The
essays critically point out how writing becomes a tool to think and
write about the many aspects of motherhood such as an idealized
maternal experience versus the real one or the accepted stereotypes
of the good mother and the bad mother.
