Fiona Joy Green -- Book Launch
Sunday Dec 04 2011 12:30 pm, Winnipeg, Grant Park in the Atrium
Launch of Practicing Feminist Mothering
Practicing Feminist Mothering explores the realities of feminist mothering for both mothers and their children. It scrutinizes the discourse of motherhood by examining the material spaces that feminist mothers create to struggle with patriarchy. Based on in-depth interviews with sixteen feminist mothers, and some with their now-adult children, this work provides a rich understanding of the tensions within feminism surrounding issues of mothering and the reproduction of feminism itself, and offers a powerful perspective on mothering as a central aspect of feminism.
Fiona Green is Chair of the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Winnipeg, where she has been teaching for two decades. She is a feminist mother and is co-editor of Maternal Pedagogies: In and Outside the Classroom, author of Feminist Mothering in Theory and Practice, 1985-1995 and many articles and book chapters on feminism and mothering.
This launch is presented in association with the Institute for Women and Gender Studies at the University of Winnipeg.
