Description
Feminists have forced us to critically re-assess several pertinent issues relating to women. In From Private to Public: A Feminist Exploration of Early Mothering, Amy Rossiter considers the contradictions of early mothering. Including her own experience as a first-time mother, as well as those of three other women, Rossiter keenly analyzes social factors that make early mothering both a joyous and an oppressive experience.
Incisive and invaluable, From Private to Public is both for women who are mothers and for anyone who wants to understand the experience of early mothering.
