The two phenomena highlighted in this edited volume
‘motherhood/mothering and masculinities’ are each recent areas
of development in critical Feminist and Men’s Studies. In
contributing to these areas of gender studies, this book draws
attention to the fact that much can also be gained when we explore
relationships between them, an idea that may not readily come to
mind. While femininities and masculinities are co-constructed,
motherhood and mothering bring additional perspectives to the study
of femininity that affect the construction of masculinity in
complex ways. The 12 chapters in this volume allow readers to
ponder some of these complexities and may suggest other issues that
require investigation. Spanning many continents, the essays have
both a global and historical reach emphasising cultural differences
and historical changes. Of import is the idea that mothers have
agency and are active in constructions affecting their lives. They
are able to bring motherhood out of the shadows as they strive to
build, re-evaluate or alter their roles within families and
communities. These have an impact on developments in masculinities.
The book is divided into three parts and the chapters investigate a
wide range of issues including cultural constructs, gender in
parent/child, relationships, non-binary developments, the impact of
war on mothering, decolonisation struggles, and much more.
