Item description from seller

'A likely breakthrough work for one of the Left's most eloquent new voices, this is a remarkable debut. Mother State is a wise, funny, carefully researched, and emotionally powerful book to treasure, learn from, and share with as many people as possible'- Alex Niven, Tribune Mother State 'blows open the dominant view of mothering . instead Charman's history from below situates a radical collective conception of motherhood and care as central to all our lives. meticulously researched. Mother State is both a prodigious historical analysis and a sobering one' - Ruth Gilbert, New Internationalist'Charman writes with intelligence and generosity, and sprinkles her history with details that are enraging, provocative and, frequently, amusing' - Megan Gibson, The New StatesmanMotherhood is a political state.

Beginning with Women's Liberation and ending with austerity, the book follows mothers' fights for an alternative future.

'Mother' ceases to be an individual responsibility, and becomes an expansive collective term to organise under, for people of any gender, with or without children of their own. It begins with an understanding: that to mother is a political act.…
