{"product_id":"interrogating-motherhood","title":"Interrogating Motherhood","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt has been four decades since the publication of Adrienne Rich's \u003cem\u003eOf Woman Born\u003c\/em\u003e but her analysis of maternity and the archetypal Mother remains a powerful critique. It was Rich who first defined the term \"motherhood\" as referent to a patriarchal institution that was oppressive to women. Rich proposed the use of the word \"mothering\": a word intended to be female-defined. It is between these two ideas, that of a patriarchal history and a feminist future, where \u003cem\u003eInterrogating Motherhood\u003c\/em\u003e begins. Ross explores the topic of mothering from the perspective of Western society and encourages students and readers to identify and critique the historical, social, and political contexts in which mothers are understood. \u003cem\u003eInterrogating Motherhood\u003c\/em\u003e describes the fluid and shifting nature of the practice of mothering and the complex realities that define contemporary women's lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AU Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54241187299672,"sku":"9781771991438","price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781771991438.jpg?v=1777629614","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/interrogating-motherhood","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
