Feminist Mothering (S U N Y Series in Feminist Criticism and Theory) (Suny Series in Feminist Criticism & Theory)

Feminist Mothering goes beyond critiques of patriarchal motherhood to locate and investigate feminist maternal practices as sites for women s empowerment and social change. The contributors see feminist mothering as practices of mothering that seek to challenge and change the norms of patriarchal motherhood that are limiting and oppressive to women. For many women, practicing feminist mothering offers a way to disrupt the transmission of sexist and patriarchal values from generation to generation. Contributors explore the ways in which women integrate activism, paid employment, nonsexist childrearing practices, and non-child-centered interests in their lives and other caregivers into their children s lives in order to challenge existing societal inequality and create new egalitarian possibilities for women, men, and families."
