Mother-Blaming and The Feminine Mystique : Betty Friedan and Her Readers --Notes --IndexIn the early twentieth century, Americans often waxed lyrical about "Mother Love," signaling a conception of motherhood as an all-encompassing identity, rooted in self-sacrifice and infused with social and political meaning. By the 1940's, the idealization of motherhood had waned, and the nation's mothers found themselves blamed for a host of societal and psychological ills. In Mom, Rebecca Jo Plant traces this important shift by exploring the evolution of maternalist politics, changing perceptions of the mother-child bond, and the rise of new approaches to childbirthMotherhoodUnited StatesMotherhood in popular cultureUnited StatesMotherhoodMotherhood in popular culture306.874/3Plant Rebecca Jo1968-1637427MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829013303321Mom3979259UNINA
