| | Intersections: Unstable Mothers: Redefining Motherhood in Contemporary Japan |
 | | Kôko's attitude to motherhood, as manifested in her changing relationship with her adolescent daughter Kayako and with her imaginary foetus, is ambiguous and unstable, serving to problematise, rather than reify, the notion of the mother-child relationship. | | | Single motherhood in Japan almost inevitably involves financial and physical hardship, perhaps more consistently than in the West, given that there is little provision for child support, and that even a divorced father usually does not continue to pay child support to the mother when she has custody of the children. | | | The state-ordained emphasis on motherhood which began in the Meiji period ultimately led to a reifying of 'maternal love', together with the notion that motherly love and devotion were vital to a child's development. |

| | Hypatia -- Against Marriange and Motherhood |
| | The term ''motherhood'' is ambiguous between the experience of mothers (in either sense, usually the second) and a social practice the rules of which structure child rearing. | | | Virginia Held, one optimist about the potentialities of marriage and motherhood, finds motherhood to be part of a larger conception of family, which she takes to be constructed of noncontractual relationships. | | | Nevertheless, she does not attempt to generalize from her experience or to treat it as a source of inspiration for ethical theory. |

| | Excepting exceptional circumstances, wherever possible, even at the cost of a little extra trouble, a woman does need to attempt to discharge this divine responsibility which nature has endowed her with and also granted her the potency to fulfill the same. | | | Nevertheless, it also needs to be reaffirmed that motherhood is no mere accident in a woman's life. | | | This is a well thought out aesthetic strategy, which conveys a multitude of emotions simultaneously, the paramount one being that of motherhood. |

| | Latter-day Saints revere and respect motherhood, in part because of the mother´s role in shaping the family unit and the individuals within it. | | | The child who has been mothered in this profound way usually develops a moral conscience, a respect for society, a desire to contribute to the well-being of humankind, and, most important, a love of God and a love for self that will bring everlasting joy and inner peace. | | | Obviously, the sociological significance of the mother´s role is immense: Her relationship with her children and her guidance in their growing years influence the formation of values and attitudes they will carry throughout their lives. |

| | The Real Myth of Motherhood - Reconsidering the maternal memoir-cum-manifesto. By Ann Hulbert |
| | If there is a "myth" of motherhood these days, it is that mothers' experience has been relentlessly, and romantically, mythologized. | | | Those are only some of the most popular unvarnished reports from the trenches of motherhood in the 21 | | | Yet if you believe the authors' own accounts, the accumulation of mothers' "brutally honest" stories has done little to erode the power of those coercive myths of perfect motherhood—much less to shake up public policy, which resolutely ignores mothers' work. |

| | Creative Nonfiction: Unsung Motherhood |
| | Being a black mother in today's society is fraught with an overwhelming prevalence of negative connotations and crippling stereotypes, the likes of which probably cause most black women to embrace the "superwoman" image of black womanhood and reject the perceived vulnerable image of the modern black mother. | | | I have to rely on my findings, then, that what I am asserting is indeed true; that because there are no websites or even basic information about black mothering on the Internet, then that must mean mothering for black women is not only disparaged in our society, but even to some extent, degraded. | | | But when I searched for websites tailored to black mothers, black mothering, and black motherhood (something that in my mind should exist), I found mostly academic studies and statistics about what is wrong with black mothers and how "bad" black mothering adversely affects black children. |
