As family and work demands become more complex, who is left holding
the baby? Tina Miller explores men's experiences of fatherhood and
provides unique insights into paternal caring, changing
masculinities and men's relations to paid work. She focuses on the
narratives of a group of men as they first anticipate and then
experience fatherhood for the first time. Her original,
longitudinal research contributes to contemporary theories of
gender against a backdrop of societal and policy change. The men's
journeys into fatherhood are both similar and varied, and they
illuminate just how deeply gender permeates individual lives,
everyday practices and societal assumptions around caring for young
children. This book acts as a companion to Making Sense of
Motherhood (Cambridge University Press, 2005) and, together, these
innovative studies reveal how gendered practices around caring
become enacted.
