Why do we need to integrate a sociological of understanding of motherhood into our work with mothers?
because Motherhood is different to mothering.
Mothers do their mothering within the context of Motherhood.
The social rules around Motherhood are the ones Mothers live their lives within.
These rules become embedded within our own lives, and in the systems, structures, and institutions that we live within.
without knowledge about the social system of motherhood we miss enormous opportunities for transformation, understanding, and change for mothers.
