Sample Book Insights: #1 The maternal subject is a figure that disrupts or interrupts our notions of subjectivity. Motherhood is an undiscovered country in the literary sense, and we must venture into it lest our experience go unrecorded. #2 The division between mothering and creative work once seemed absolute. But in 1962, the careers of women with children were beginning to flourish. Mothers found ways to do their work, and were recognized for it. #3 The experience of being a mother is subjective, and it is difficult to explain or understand. It is everywhere in practice, but in theory, it seems nowhere. #4 The Freudian view of mothering is that it is the end of growth and achievement for a woman. The ideal situation is one in which the interests of mother and child are identical.
