Feminist Mothering in Theory and Practice, 1985-1995
Set sail for Africa in this thrilling sequel to Gentleman Captain. When a captured Barbary pirate tells a tale of a mountain of gold deep in Africa, gentleman Captain Matthew Quinton has his doubts. But King Charles II can’t resist the chance to outstrip the Dutch with a limitless source of wealth. With the devious corsair aboard, Quinton embarks on a voyage past the edge of the map and into the African unknown. As he gets closer, and as sabotage attempts pile up, he begins to wonder if there is truth in the legend after all . . . Back in England, the king has arranged a marriage between Quinton’s elder brother and a mysterious lady rumored to have murdered her previous husbands. Will Quinton be able to find the fabled mountain of gold and return home in time to protect his family? "J. D. Davies writes with surging lyricism and surprisingly witty insight about a subject that he clearly knows through and through… These are superb books and I look forward eagerly to reading more of them."—Angus Donald, author of The Outlaw Chronicles “Swashbuckling suspense, royal intrigue, and high seas naval action… [an] excellent series.”—Publishers Weekly
Matricentric Feminism: Theory, Activism, Practice. The 2nd Edition
A groundbreaking exploration of feminism centered on mothers. This second edition expands on matricentric feminism, positioning mothering as a verb to understand motherwork in a gender-neutral way while appreciating its gendered dimensions. Andrea O'Reilly argues that the category of mother is distinct from that of woman, addressing the unique challenges mothers face under patriarchy. This feminism positions mothers' concerns as the starting point for empowerment, exploring theory, activism, and practice. Examines normative motherhood and its impact. Explores racialized women's motherwork and radical queering of mothering. Analyzes gendered oppressions of motherwork and foregrounds mothers in feminism. For feminist scholars, gender studies students, and mothers seeking a transformative perspective, this is a vital resource for understanding and enacting empowered social change.
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. The book is based on in-depth interviews of sixteen feminist mothers and their adult children, one of whom is now a mother. Conducted from 1995 to 2007, they provide a rich understanding of the tensions within feminism surrounding issues of mothering and the reproduction of feminism itself. It illuminates the complexities of generational dynamics by exploring how the children mothered by self-conscious feminists think of feminism and mothering in their adult lives. By developing concepts of matroreform and motherlines, this book provides a powerful perspective on mothering as a central aspect of feminism.
