Product Description
Successive moral panics have cast poor or socially excluded mothers – associated with social problems as diverse as crime, underachievement, unemployment and mental illness – as bad mothers. Their mothering practices are held up as the antithesis of good parenting and are associated with poor outcomes for children. Marginalised Mothers provides a detailed and much-needed insight into the lived experience of mothers who are frequently the focus of public concern and intervention, yet all too often have their voices and experiences overlooked. The book explores how they make sense of their lives with their children and families, position themselves within a context of inequality and vulnerability, and resist, subvert and survive material and social marginalisation. This controversial text uses qualitative data from a selection of working class mothers to highlight the opportunities and choices they face and to expose the middle class assumptions that ground much contemporary family policy. It will be of interest to students and researchers in sociology, social work and social policy, as well as social workers and policymakers.

Over the last three decades, the widespread movement of women into the workplace has altered society in extraordinary fashion. Everyday Revolutionaries: Working Women and the Transformation of American Life, by author and lecturer Sally Helgesen, is a detailed examination of this change and how it’s shaping the future. By meticulously analyzing an Illinois “edge city” in the 1990s, and contrasting it to life for William Whyte’s seminal 1950s Organization Man, Helgesen presents an intriguing picture of where things are today–and where they might be headed.

Children. Education. Work. Hobbies. Church. Today women enjoy more options and opportunities than ever before. Women can do anything and be anything they want to be. But all these choices seem overwhelming at times. What do women want to do, and in what priority, and when? The option overload presented today demands that LDS women perform a delicate balancing act, whether by choice or circumstance. With so many avenues available, prioritizing their lives and maintaining their sanity can be complicated. Women have the world advocating the benefits of working, the Church touting the joys of motherhood and the importance of education, and their own personalities and abilities weighing in as well. How do women reconcile these competing demands and enjoy their rewards? Interviewing more than 100 women throughout the country, Wright brings readers along on a personal journey toward self-discovery and understanding of the acrobatic juggling required by LDS women today.
