A Woman's Work

The first comprehensive history of mothers and mothering from antiquity to today, by the acclaimed author of UNWELL WOMEN'Cleghorn's aim is to reclaim mothering as a radical, intentional act - not purely a biological function, devoid of thought, creativity, or labour . . . Engrossing' OBSERVER'An essential history' LEAH HAZARD'This is the book we need right now . . . powerful and astonishing' MARIANNE LEVY'Thoughtful, smart, and, sadly, really bloody urgent' CLAIRE LYNCHMothers make history. For centuries, motherhood has sparked social and political change. Yet the acts of growing, birthing and nurturing children - and the power they hold - have been pushed to the margins, overlooked in our narratives of the past.In A Woman's Work, Elinor Cleghorn reveals the mothers, othermothers, midwives, activists, and community leaders who have shaped this extraordinary history. They include Hildegard of Bingen, the medieval nun and mystic with pioneering views about the maternal body; Mary Wollstonecraft, who laid the intellectual groundwork to release motherhood from male control; and Sojourner Truth, who drew attention to the abhorrent treatment of mothers under chattel slavery.Beginning in the ancient world, we learn how in each era, the patriarchy constructed its own idealised notion of motherhood - from the misogynistic dogma of the early church and the stigmatisation of single mothers in 17th century England all the way through to the post-war myth of the perfectly contented housewife. But we also learn how mothers of all classes and circumstances fought back, and lobbied to be valued, respected and supported - not as reproductive vessels, but as people. A Woman's Work is a radical and inspiring new history of mothering, and a timely reminder that the fight for reproductive freedom is far from over.

Anne Olmak

Normal dogum, mükemmel annelik, kutsal sorumluluk Kadinlara yillardir ögretilen bu kaliplarin ardinda yatan ne Annelik neden yüceltilirken bir o kadar da yalnizlastiriliyor Ve neden dogum bu kadar cok konusulup, bu kadar az anlasiliyorHer türlü dönüstürücü hareketin ilk adimi bilinclenmektir. Miras aldigimiz yapilari yikmak icin onlari önce görmemiz gerekir. Pek cok kadin annelige gecis sürecindeki zorlu mücadelelerinin kendi zayifliklarinin bir sonucu olduguna inanir. Bu, bir yalan olup, dürüst konusmaya ve toplumsal degisime de engel teskil eder. Yazar Lucy Jones, kisisel deneyimlerinden yola cikarak kaleme aldigi Anne Olmakta annelige gecis sürecinin tüm ilginc detaylarini ve dogum sonrasi psikolojik, biyolojik, toplumsal ve kültürel katmanlarini cesurca ortaya koyuyor. Toplumun kendisinden beklediklerinin aksine, anne kelimesinin anlamini kendi terimleriyle yeniden tanimlarken, hamilelikten doguma, dogumdan psikolojik iyilesmeye kadar uzanan bu sürecte kadinlarin dogru bilgiye, seffaf rehberlige ve güclü bir sosyal destek agina erisiminin hayati önemde olmasinin da altini ciziyor.
