Feminism, Psychoanalysis, and Maternal Subjectivity

More about the book

The book presents a feminist perspective on maternal subjectivity, challenging the notion that individuality requires separation from maternal influences. It argues that mothers can reclaim their subjectivity through their intimate connections with their children, rather than distancing themselves from their maternal roles. This re-immersion in maternal relationships fosters a unique form of agency and meaning-making that is intertwined with bodily experiences and generational histories. Stone explores how this cyclical lived time shapes the identity and experiences of mothers.
