The Cultural Contradictions of Motherhood
ISBN: 9780300076523 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Working mothers today confront not only conflicting demands on their time and energy but also conflicting ideas about how they are to behave: they must be nurturing and unselfish while engaged in child rearing but competitive and ambitious at work. As more and more women enter the workplace, it would seem reasonable for society to make mothering a simpler and more efficient task. Instead, Sharon Hays points out in this original and provocative book, an ideology of "intensive mothering" has developed that only exacerbates the tensions working mothers face. Drawing on ideas about mothering...

ISBN: 9780345408938 / Angielski / Miękka / 752 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Maternal instinct -- the all-consuming, utterly selfless love that mothers lavish on their children -- has long been assumed to be an innate, indeed defining element of a woman's nature. But is it? In this provocative, groundbreaking book, renowned anthropologist (and mother) Sarah Blaffer Hrdy shares a radical new vision of motherhood and its crucial role in human evolution.
Hrdy strips away stereotypes and gender-biased myths to demonstrate that traditional views of maternal behavior are essentially wishful thinking codified as objective observation. As Hrdy argues, far from being... Maternal instinct -- the all-consuming, utterly selfless love that mothers lavish on their children -- has long been assumed to be an innate, indeed d...

With Opting In, Amy Richards addresses the anxiety over parenting that... For contemporary women, motherhood has become as polarizing a proposition as it is a powerful calling.
