Definition

  • In many societies influenced not least by political definitions and concerns, there is a hierarchy of motherhood, with some mothers being viewed as more appropriate than others. Age as well as sexuality, ethnicity, and other differences impact on the definition of motherhood as an appropriate or inappropriate identity for individual women. [Source: Encyclopedia of Motherhood; Young Mothers]
