This book investigates how contemporary post-apocalyptic novels place maternal characters at the forefront of rebuilding and reconceiving a devastated world. By overturning patriarchal assumptions about the post-catastrophe world and women's place in it, the writers of the maternal post-apocalypse offer a (re)vision of speculative literature.
