About the book
Julie Stephens confronts the core claims of postmaternal thought and criticises dominant representations of feminism as having forgotten motherhood. She does this through an investigation of oral histories, life narratives, web blogs, and other rich and varied sources. The book highlights the deep cultural anxiety that exists around public expressions of maternalism. It examines why postmaternal thinking has become so influential in recent decades and asks why there has been a growing unease with maternal forms of subjectivity and maternalist perspectives.
