Making Sense of Motherhood
Becoming a mother changes lives in many ways and this original and
accessible book explores how women try to make sense of and narrate
their experiences of first-time motherhood in the Western world. Tina
Miller pays close attention to women’s own accounts, over time, of their
experiences of transition to motherhood and shows how myths of
motherhood continue because women do not feel able to voice their
early (often difficult) experiences of mothering. The book charts the
social, cultural and moral contours of contemporary motherhood and
engages with sociological and feminist debates on how selves are con-
stituted, maintained and narrated. Drawing on original research and
narrative theory, the book also explores the disjuncture that often exists
between personal experience and public discourse and the cultural
dimensions of expert knowledge.
