| Summary |
"This book charts the changing experience of mothers over the past seventy years: over one hundred women from the age of fifteen to ninety-three were interviewed on their desires and dreams as young girls, their concerns and qualms during pregnancy and childbirth, and their views and beliefs on feeding, nurturing and childcare - the whole builds up a fascinating picture of how women have approached the role of motherhood across the generations. The stories tell of trauma and joy, of exasperation and exhausting anxiety-filled nights, and the dramatic transformation, biological and social, involved in becoming a mother."--BOOK JACKET |
