Description: Moms Gone Mad by Gina Wong Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book enhances dialogue and revolutionises our understanding of motherhood constructions and experiences by exploring the underbelly of mothering and subjugated experiences such as womens inhumanity to women and deconstructing notions of mommy in literature/media that are oppressive. Publisher Description Impetus for this landmark collection emerged from the extraordinary success of the Moms Gone Mad: Motherhood and Madness Oppression and Resistance International Conference in New York City, 2009. Cultural meanings extolled on motherhood are often overlooked and many women struggle and personalize issues to themselves and remain silent. This anthology synthesizes and roars out marginalized experiences of moms in a culture that relegates unconventional experiences to craziness and her own madness. From a feminist perspective, scholars in motherhood across disciplines and mothers steeped in the experience have come together to capture multifarious experiences of oppression to resistance in a groundbreaking anthology that embodies motherhood empowerment. This book enhances dialogue and revolutionizes our understanding of motherhood constructions and experiences by exploring the underbelly of mothering and subjugated experiences such as womens inhumanity to women and deconstructing notions of mommy in literature/media that are oppressive. Critical examinations of the good mother, mother-shame, and mother-guilt, growing up a daughter of depression, body image and disordered eating in motherhood, postpartum depression are explored as well as experiences such as single motherhood, mothering a child with disability, and childlessness; and perceived anomalies such as losing a child to suicide and postpartum psychosis and more.
