Rebecca Bromwich - Böcker

Presents empirical, theoretical and creative works that address the construct of the 'bad' mother and the lived realities of mothers labelled as bad. The editors consider voices and acts of resistance to bad mother constructions, demonstrating that mothers have individually and collectively taken a stand against this destructive label.

This interdisciplinary volume opens an innovative space for critical discussion, and production of new imaginaries within, feminist scholarship, analysis and feminist politics, about what is and has been meant by, involved in, required of, and what it means to be, a “wife.”
