Rezensionen

"This edited volume consists of fifteen original chapters, including a substantial introduction by editor and coauthor Petra Bueskens. The chapters are organized into three sections that respectively represent the three generations of scholars who have been influenced by Chodorow and her work, and by The Reproduction of Mothering in particular. ... This is Chodorow s gift and, as this book reminds us, the gift of so many of her scholarly progeny." (Caroline Lundquist, Simone de Beauvoir Studies, Vol. 34 (1), 2023)
