Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | "Feminist Parenting is a collection of writings from women around the globe who offer unique standpoints on feminist theory, parenting, and empowerment, through poetry, research, and prose. Global perspectives include Anwar Shaheen's research on parenting inequality in Pakistan, Marlene Pomrenke's examination of Aboriginal single mothers attending University, and Iza Desperak's insights on contemporary lone motherhood in Poland. The collection offers Johanna Wagner's witty, self-reflective essay on her ambivalence toward her new role as a lesbian parent, and Sarah Keeth's abortion fantasy sonnet "Tomatoes" in which she describes a pregnant woman who desires, yet struggles with her pregnancy."-- "Feminist Parenting brings together unique voices and provides riveting perspectives on an institution in flux. The anthology pulls back the veil on power dynamics in relationships and exposes some of the challenges of feminist parenting in society. Authors shed critical light on long-held parenting conventions such as unpaid carework labor, gender roles, and family power dynamics, and expose how particular conventions reproduce gendered inequality. Feminist resistance strategies are offered by authors for "doing parenting," to increase "mother-power" in the family. This collection raises important questions about contemporary women's roles and adds to the current literature on feminism, parenting, gender, and family diversity."-- Introduction / Lynn Comerford, Heather Jackson, and Kandee Kosior -- What is Feminist Parenting? -- Retrospect / Emily Powers -- Feminist Parenting as the Practice of Non-domination: Lessons from Adrienne Rich, Audre Lorde, Sara Ruddick, and Iris Marion Young / Elizabeth Ann Bartlett -- Feminist Mothering / Andrea O'Reilly -- The Potential for Feminist Parenting / Lynn Comerford -- Before You / Lynn Comerford -- Resistance -- Powerful Autonomy / Heather Jackson -- Mothering on Their Own Terms: How Single, Queer, and Feminist Mothering Deconstruct Patriarchy, Gender, and the Nuclear Family / Heather Jackson -- Wild, Child: Reflections at the Intersection of Nature, Gender, Race, and Parenthood / Kate Parsons -- Childhood Phobia / Shannon Drury -- My Grandmothers: The Real Powerholders in the Family / Quincie Melville -- The Whole of My Child / Jana Buhlmann -- The Skin of Your Hand / Cassie Premo Steele -- Stories of Power and Inequality -- Tomatoes: A Sonnet / Sara Hardin Keeth -- Embodying Feminist Mothering: Narratives of Resistance through Patriarchal Terrorism from Both a Mother's and Child's Perspective / Marilyn Metta with Mae -- "That's Not What Boys Do": Mothering a Boy Child, Resisting Masculinity, and Coming to Terms with Manhood / Rachel O'Donnell -- I Was Ward Cleaver: An Apologia / Johanna Wagner -- Gymnastics and Equality / Lesley Bunnell -- International Voices and Perspecticves -- The Skies Have Eyes / Gabrielle McNally -- Can Ecofeminism Save the World?
