Rezensionen

"In this compelling analysis of the temporal regulation of motherhood, Mary Trigg treats time as one of many resources denied to mothers. Focusing on poor white rural migrants, African Americans, and Irish American Catholics from 1920 to 1960, she underscores the unrealistic expectations that time discipline and antimaternalist discourse imposed on mothers -- and analyzes women's response. A valuable and thought-provoking study."

- Molly Ladd-Taylor, Professor Emerita, History Department, York University, and co-editor of 'Bad' Mothers: The Politics of Blame in Twentieth-Century America.

"Mary Trigg powerfully and passionately illustrates how women's experiences, including motherhood, have been overlooked in male-central scholarship across the disciplines. The writing style is engaging, and the subject matter is captivating. Trigg has done an excellent job selecting subject matter that illustrates anti-maternalism in diverse cultural contexts yet weaving these disparate subjects into a narrative that is compelling and engaging. I highly recommend this book for graduate seminars in feminist history, feminist methodology, and women's studies."
