Description
Mothers Without Their Children explores the complex and often paradoxical concept of motherhood in its absence. This thought-provoking volume examines experiences, representations, creative manifestations, and embodiments of mothers without their children from various interdisciplinary perspectives. The book builds upon earlier work by critic Elaine Tuttle Hansen, who highlighted the need for critical and feminist engagement with the boundaries of motherhood. Mothers Without Their Children extends this enquiry, investigating maternal experience and mothering on the margins of motherhood in different historical and cultural contexts. By reassessing and revising our understanding of mothers without their children, this book encourages further dialogue about what it means to mother on the borders of motherhood.
