Feminist theory on motherhood has successfully transformed mothers into subjects of their own discourse, recognized the historical, heterogeneous and socially constructed origins of their life experience while, at the same time, widening our understanding of the notion of mothering. This collection combines a literary and a wider cultural perspective from which to look at the topic of the representation of other or forgotten motherhoods. Mothers who have been forced to live exiled and away from their children, women who after trying to conceive, get pregnant but discover they cannot bear to become mothers, or even literary characters based on an autobiographical experience of a sexually abusive mother. The essays critically point out how writing becomes a tool to think and write about the many aspects of motherhood such as an idealized maternal experience versus the real one or the accepted stereotypes of the good mother and the bad mother.

The Editor: Silvia Caporale-Bizzini is Associate Professor of English Literature and Critical Theory, Director of the Women's Studies Centre at Alicante University (Spain). She has co-edited/edited various books and has published articles and essays on cultural theory and contemporary literature in English. She is currently working on the relationship between motherhood, identity and representation in contemporary British women writers.
