Mothers' Images of Motherhood: Case Studies of Twelve Mothers

by Meryle Kaplan

This book provides a study of first time US Yuppie mothers. These women have all followed careers first and have had their children later, in their thirties. The study reveals the images the mothers have of themselves and the ways they feel about motherhood and provides original and controversial results, which show that the current theories called upon by psychology and feminism are decidedly lacking.
