Opis

Becoming a mother is not only a profound moment of identity change but also a site of socio-economic difference that shapes women's lives. What does motherhood mean today? Drawing on interviews with new mothers and intergenerational chains of women in the same family, this book documents the transition to motherhood over generations and time.
