Mother of Invention: How Our Mothers Influenced Us as Feminist Acadamics and Activists
About this book
Explore the transformative power of maternal influence on feminist thought and action. This interdisciplinary collection combines feminist theory with personal narratives to examine how mothers, feminist or not, inspire feminist consciousness in their children.
Mother of Invention delves into the complex relationships between mothers and feminist academics, activists, and artists. Discover how intergenerational matrilineal narratives shape feminist perspectives and challenge patriarchal norms. Explore the challenges and complexities of motherwork, offering an antidote to matrophobia and mother-blaming.
This collection is for feminist academics, activists, and anyone interested in motherhood studies and intergenerational connections. Uncover the diverse ways mothers influence their daughters and sons, and gain new insights into the power of maternal legacies.
