Opis

Mothering Rhetorics explores motherhood and mothering, focusing on how rhetorics of reproduction (rhetorics about the reproductive function of women/mothers) and reproducing rhetorics (the rhetorical reproduction of ideological systems and logics of contemporary culture) expand our understanding of mothering, motherhood, communication, and gender. This book was originally published as a special issue of Women’s Studies in Communication.
