This book explores the maternal experience from the mother's point of view. It questions a society that has devalued and sentimentalized motherhood, presents images of generative and creative women who are also mothers, discusses the complex psychological experience of having and being a mother, and examines how representations of mothers in art, film, literature, the social and behavioral sciences, and historical writing have affected women. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContents \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cb\u003eDonna Bassin, Margaret Honey, and Meryle Mahrer Kaplan\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePart I: The Acknowledgment and Appropriation of Maternal Work \u003cbr\u003eThinking Mothers\/Conceiving Birth \u003cb\u003eSara Ruddick\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFictions of Home \u003cb\u003eJane Lazarre\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eShifting the Center: Race, Class, and Feminist Theorizing about Motherhood \u003cb\u003ePatricia Hill Collins\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mothers of the Disappeared: Passion and Protest in Maternal Action \u003cb\u003eJean Bethke Elshtain\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaternity and Rememory in Toni Morrison's \u003ci\u003eBeloved\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eMarianne Hirsch\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart II: The Paradoxical Nature of the Maternal Position\u003cbr\u003eBeing a Mother and Being a Psychoanalyst: Two Impossible Professions \u003cb\u003eJanine Chasseguet-Smirgel\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe Omnipotent Mother: A Psychoanalytic Study of Fantasy and Reality \u003cb\u003eJessica Benjamin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMothering, Hate, and Winnicott \u003cb\u003eElsa First\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaternal Subjectivity in the Culture of Nostalgia: Mourning and Memory \u003cb\u003eDonna Bassin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRosalind: A Family Romance\u003cb\u003e Myra Goldberg\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart III: The Cultural Construction and Reconstruction of the Maternal Image\u003cbr\u003eImages of the Maternal: An Interview with Barbara Kruger \u003cb\u003eTherese Lichtenstein\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Power of \"Positive\" Diagnosis: Medical and Maternal Discourses on Amniocentesis \u003cb\u003eRayna Rapp\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe Maternal Voice in the Technological Universe \u003cb\u003eMargaret Honey\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking the Nature Out of Mother \u003cb\u003eAdria Schwartz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSex, Work, and Motherhood: Maternal Subjectivity in Recent Visual Culture \u003cb\u003eE.
