Description:Telling Truths: Storying Motherhood is a collection of creative non-fiction essays aimed at exposing the lived realities of mothers in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. Contributing authors explore how expectations collide with the realities we face as we try to mother. These pieces reveal how mothering is inextricably linked to the positions we occupy within specific socio-cultural contexts, class and income level, marital or relationship status, age and generation relative to the time period (decade) of mothering experiences, cultural background and ethnicity, gender and sexual identity, level of education, the environment and the setting urban or rural. And of course, the children we raise, long for, and mourn. Together, as writers and readers, as mothers and parents and communities, we are rewriting and rereading and reinventing what it means to mother and parent our children at this moment in history. Largely written from Canadian perspectives, this anthology is an important contribution to ongoing discourses that resist traditional expectations around motherhood.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
