 Motherhood In Ireland by Patricia Kennedy
Good mothers, bad mothers, birth mothers, adoptive mothers, mothers who leave, mothers who stay, mothers who breastfeed and mothers who don't, mothers who work outside the home, die and nurture, mothers who commit crimes, mothers of different ability, race and culture. The body of work collected here presents the essence of mo¬therhood in Ireland in all its various forms in relation to both the experience and institution of motherhood. The first two sections of the book concentrate on creation, in the physiological sense (childbirth, infant-feeding, infertility, maternal mortality) and in the literary sense (treatment/symbolism of motherhood in Irish literature, both in English and in Gaelic, and in the visual arts). The third section presents the context in which mother¬hood unfolds. The contributors include Máire Mhac an tSaoi, Patricia Burke¬-Brogan, Margaret Ward and many others.
