A Woman’s Work: Reclaiming the Radical History of Mothering by Elinor Cleghorn is a powerful, thought-provoking exploration of motherhood through a feminist and historical lens. Cleghorn revisits the cultural myths, social pressures, and overlooked labour that have shaped the experience of mothering, challenging the idea that care work is natural, private, or invisible.
Blending history, critique, and personal insight, this book invites readers to see mothering as a site of resistance, identity, and change. It is an insightful read for anyone interested in gender, family, and the politics of care, offering a fresh perspective on a subject that affects us all.
