About the book

"This work explores matrophobia - the fear not of one's mother or of motherhood but of becoming one's mother - in past and present white Feminist analyses of motherhood/mothering. By tracing white second wave Feminism's strategic choice to organize first as sisters then as daughters, O'Brien Hallstein argues that matrophobia became embedded in past and continues to linger in contemporary feminist analyses. This important work concludes that matrophobia can be reduced and eliminated by reorienting analyses to mutual responsiveness between sisters and daughters, second and third wave feminists."--Jacket.
