In her book, Motherhood, Tina Miller examines the experiences of first-time mothers across two generations. Through richly narrated, real-time accounts of transition, she explores what has changed since her original study was conducted twenty-one years ago. Using sociological and feminist perspectives, Miller analyzes how motherhood has intensified against a harsher neoliberal backdrop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book delves into the social, political, and moral contours in which motherhood is situated, including ideas of planned labors and work-life balance as part of maternal prenatal imaginings. However, the qualitative, longitudinal, and comparative data collected show that these ideas are largely illusory. Birth continues to change everything, and the book provides a valuable insight into the evolving experiences of women in the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of motherhood and the challenges faced by women in today's society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 298g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 220 x 228 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781009413343\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TinaMiller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44922216317178,"sku":"9781009413343","price":21.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1703269380946_book.jpg?v=1703409542","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/motherhood-contemporary-transitions-and-generational-change-9781009413343","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
