内容説明

With the aim of revealing the maternal as not a core identitiy but a site of profound psychic and social division, this book considers recent decades of feminist thought and explores novels by Jane Rule, Alice Walker, Louise Erdrich and Michael Dorris, Marge Piercy, Margaret Atwood and Fay Weldon. Unlike traditional stories of abandoned children and bad mothers, these narratives do not sentimentalize motherhood's losses and impasses. The author embraces the larger cultural story of what it means to be a mother and illuminates how motherhood is being reimagined today.
