Abstract
Feminist Mothering sets out to critically analyze and build on the existing scholarship of motherhood. Specifically, this book offers a theoretical inves-tigation into the conceptual interconnections of mothering and feminism. It seeks to articulate what feminist mothering means, how it is sometimes practiced, and the barriers facing feminist mothers. The articles gathered here centre on themes of motherhood, family, childrearing, and activism. The au-thors represent a wide range of mothers, including lesbian mothers, older mothers, professional and non-professional mothers, activist mothers, His-panic mothers, and African American mothers.
