Preferred term

reproduction of mothering  

Definition

  • Discussions about the “nature” of mothering and the role of social forces in the reproduction of the values entrenched within it go to the heart of current debates about the position of women in the 21st century. In this context, the concept itself takes on a normative dimension, which serves to construct gender power hierarchies. [Source: Encyclopedia of Motherhood; Reproduction of Mothering]
