Mom - The Transformation of Motherhood in Modern America

Zusammenfassung By the 1940s, the idealization of motherhood had waned, and the American mothers found themselves blamed for a host of societal and psychological ills. This title traces this important shift by exploring the evolution of maternalist politics, changing perceptions of the mother-child bond, and the rise of new approaches to childbirth and suffering.
