About The Book

For many years mothers have been viewed in terms of their impact on children rather than as people with needs, feelings, and interests — subjects in their own right. This book explores the maternal experience from the mother’s point of view. It questions a society that has devalued and sentimentalized motherhood, presents images of generative and creative women who are also mothers, discusses the complex psychological experience of having and being a mother, and examines how representations of mothers in art, film, literature, the social and behavioral sciences, and historical writing have affected women.
