Book Overview

This book explores the cultural construction of the bad mother in books, movies, and TV shows, arguing that these portrayals typically have the effect of cementing dominant assumptions about motherhood in place--or, less often, of disrupting those assumptions, causing us to ask whether motherhood could be constructed differently.
