When Mothers Kill: Interviews from Prison
A groundbreaking exploration of maternal filicide, this book delves into the lives of women who have been incarcerated for killing their children. Michelle Oberman and Cheryl L. Meyer's in-depth interviews with forty prison inmates reveal a complex web of violence, troubled relationships, and conflicting notions of motherhood.
The authors' typology of maternal filicide is put to the test as they examine the social and institutional systems that have failed these women, highlighting collective themes such as relentless interpersonal violence and deep conflicts about motherhood.
