Résumé

"This is a marvelous collection, diverse in its range of topics and perspectives, rich in the depth of its authors' reflections, and unified by its determination to speak on behalf of mothers assailed by government policies, social institutions and a culture of mother blaming. The complexities and difficulties of mothers' work are revealed through discussions of issues such as mothering children with "special needs", pregnant drug use, child care, parental refusal of medical treatment, teenage pregnancy, divorce, immigration, lesbian co-mothering, adoption, and the influence of religious thinking.
By breaking silences, countering evasions and challenging edicts, these essays open the way for more direct, compassionate. respectful and constructive responses to the dilemmas facing families and mothers." Alison M. Jaggar, author of Feminist Politics and Human Nature and Living with Contradictions.
