Description

Mothering Rhetorics explores the complex relationships between motherhood, communication, and gender through an examination of rhetorical contexts. This book fills a gap in academic discourse by investigating how mothering rhetorics expand our understanding of these topics. The contributors delve into various aspects of mothering, including racialized maternity, breastfeeding activism, pink-collar occupations, and postpartum care practices. By examining verbal and nonverbal shaming practices related to unwed motherhood, the book sheds light on the ways in which societal norms shape maternal experiences. Originally published as a special issue of Women's Studies in Communication, Mothering Rhetorics offers a nuanced analysis of the intersections between motherhood, communication, and power.
