Routledge Mothering Rhetorics - Academic Book on Gender

Mothering Rhetorics by Routledge explores how motherhood has moved from a private topic among women to a major intellectual subject across various academic disciplines. This book addresses a significant gap in existing research by providing a sustained analysis of mothering rhetorics. It examines the rhetorics of reproduction, focusing on the reproductive functions of women and mothers, alongside the concept of reproducing rhetorics, which looks at how ideological systems and cultural logics are maintained through communication. By studying these connections, the text expands existing knowledge regarding motherhood, communication, and gender studies. It is designed for scholars who seek a deeper understanding of how rhetorical structures influence our perception of maternal roles and societal norms. This work offers a specialized perspective on how language and ideology shape the contemporary understanding of the maternal experience within social and academic contexts.
