Review
This excellent contribution to women's studies literature on mothering intentionally defines mothering as more than just a burden on women seeking emancipation or a feminine essence that women seek to express; it sees struggle and practice difficulty interwoven with social ideology and legal practices. Strongly recommended. -- Choice
