Privatised Motherhood - Ruth Cain - Bog

This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to a series of texts that are concerned with maternity; primarily novels and non-fiction books written by women from the 2000s onwards. It also utilizes insights from gender studies, psychoanalytic thought, psychosocial studies and literary and cultural analysis to set out a new paradigm for maternal expression within neoliberal capitalism. Students and academics with interests in contemporary fiction, gender studies, sociology and motherhood specifically will find this an important point of reference.
