Following on from Making Sense of Motherhood (2005) and Making
Sense of Fatherhood (2010), Tina Miller's book focuses on
transitions to first-time parenthood and the unfolding experiences
of managing caring and paid work in modern family lives. Returning
to her original participants, it collects later episodes of their
experience of 'doing' family life, and meticulously examines
mothers' and fathers' accounts of negotiating intensified parenting
responsibilities and work-place demands. It explores questions of
why gender equality and equity are harder to manage within the home
sphere when organising caring and associated responsibilities,
re-addressing the concept of 'maternal gatekeeping' and offering
insights into a new concept of 'paternal gatekeeping'. The findings
presented will inform both scholarly work and policy on family
lives, gender equality and work.

their research. This fully updated new edition: - Maps the changing
and increasingly technology-reliant aspects of research
relationships and practices - Provides researchers with guidance

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.

Becoming a mother changes lives in many ways and this original and
accessible 2005 book explores how women try to make sense of, and
narrate their experiences of first-time motherhood in the Western
world. Tina Miller pays close attention to women's own accounts,
over time, of their experiences of transition to motherhood and
shows how myths of motherhood continue because women do not feel
able to voice their early (often difficult) experiences of
mothering. The book charts the social, cultural and moral contours
of contemporary motherhood and engages with sociological and
feminist debates on how selves are constituted, maintained and
narrated. Drawing on original research and narrative theory, the
book also explores the disjuncture that often exists between
personal experience and public discourse and the cultural
dimensions of expert knowledge.
