Nancy Chodorow and The Reproduction of Mothering “Forty years ago, The Reproduction of Mothering introduced a groundbreaking approach to understanding capitalist patriarchy. By putting women at the center of analysis, Chodorow paved the way for feminist revolutions in sociology and psychoanalysis. Petra Bueskens’ superb volume pays tribute to her intellectual legacy and the generations of scholars she inspired.” —Christine Williams, Professor of Sociology, The Elsie and Stanley E. (Skinny) Adams, Sr. Centennial Professor of Liberal Arts, The University of Texas at Austin; President, American Sociological Association “Revisiting the impact of Nancy Chodorow’s contribution to feminist scholarship is a critical task for our contentious times. Many recent debates seem to generate more passion and hostility than collective understanding, but Petra Bueskens’ edited book deepens our grasp of culturally diverse patterns of gendered identity and social practice. In bringing together Chodorow’s theoretical insights and the contributions of a wide range of contemporary feminist scholars, including Bueskens, she has produced a collection of important work that challenges and extends the earlier psychoanalytic feminist tradition.” —Kerreen Reiger, Associate Professor, School of Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Melbourne; author of The Disenchantment of the Home: Modernizing the Australian Family (OUP); Our Bodies Our Babies: the Forgotten Women’s Movement (MUP)
