Description

A study of how women influenced by feminism and the Women's Liberation Movement perceive and construct their lives as mothers. The book is based on interviews with feminist mothers in England and Finland. The women include married, cohabiting, single, lesbian, black women, and women in different occupations working full-time or part-time, or unemployed. The interview materials are located within a theoretical context of an analysis of patriarchal, racist capitalism.
