The Reproduction of Mothering - by Nancy J Chodorow (Paperback)

The Reproduction of Mothering by Nancy Chodorow is a groundbreaking book that has had a lasting impact on both feminist theory and psychoanalytic thought.

This seminal work challenges traditional Freudian theories of the Oedipus complex, arguing instead that mothers are not simply passive objects of desire but rather active agents in the formation of the self.

Through a rigorous analysis of the mother-child relationship, Chodorow demonstrates how this dynamic shapes our understanding of gender and sexuality. With its interdisciplinary approach and innovative ideas, The Reproduction of Mothering has been hailed as a "must-read" by scholars across multiple fields.

From literature to political science, this book has influenced the thinking of countless academics and continues to be a go-to resource for those seeking to understand the complex interplay between psyche and culture. Whether you are a student of feminist theory, psychoanalysis, or simply looking for a thought-provoking read, The Reproduction of Mothering is an essential addition to your library.

With its bold and brilliant reconfiguration of traditional theories, this book will challenge your assumptions and expand your understanding of the world around you.
