  Focuses on mothers as subjects and as writers who produce autobiography, fiction, and poetry about maternity. This book examines the mother without child, with child, and in her multiple identities as grandmother, mother, and daughter. It also examines how authors use textual spaces to accept or challenge traditional conceptions of mothering.
