Description:... ,,Motherhood in Patriarchy" pioneers the argument that the current Western understanding of motherhood is a patriarchal one based on a long historical tradition of subjection and institutionalization. The book makes an important contribution to women's studies on reproduction, feminist theory, motherhood and welfare politics, and offers alternative perspectives.
