Feminism, Psychoanalysis, and Maternal Subjectivity

More about the book

Exploring maternal subjectivity through a feminist lens, Alison Stone critiques the Western notion of self that often opposes the maternal body. She argues that true autonomy for mothers emerges not from separation but from embracing their connections to maternal care. By reinterpreting motherhood, Stone highlights how mothers can reclaim their agency and meaning through their intimate relationships with their children, creating a cyclical form of lived time that reflects their unique experiences and histories.
