Motherhood is a political state. Helen Charman makes a radical case
for what liberated mothering could be, and tells the story of what
motherhood has been, from the 1970s to the 2010s. When we talk
about motherhood and politics together, we usually talk about
isolated moments - the policing of breastfeeding, or the cost of
childcare.But this is not enough: we need to understand motherhood
itself as an inherently political state, one that has the potential
to pose a serious challenge to the status quo. In Mother State,
Helen Charman uses this provocative insight to write a new history
of Britain and Northern Ireland. Beginning with Women's Liberation
and ending with austerity, the book follows mothers' fights for an
alternative future.Alongside the mother figures that loom large in
British culture, from Margaret Thatcher to Kat Slater, we meet
communities of lesbian squatters, anti-nuclear campaigners, the
wives of striking miners and teenage mothers protesting housing
cuts: groups who believed that if you want to nourish your
children, you have to nourish the world around them, too. Here we
see a world where motherhood is not a restrictive identity but a
state of possibility. 'Mother' ceases to be an individual
responsibility, and becomes an expansive collective term to
organise under, for people of any gender, with or without children
of their own.It begins with an understanding: that to mother is a
political act.
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
