| 概要 |
Kennedy (History, University of Lethbridge) examines what birth and motherhood meant to individual women and communities as a whole in the slaveholding South. The book's first part focuses on the sout...ern household and its members, showing how shared experience united women at the same time that status (black and white, rich and poor, free and enslaved) divided them. The second part looks at the public sphere, showing how birth and motherhood was used negotiate public, professional, and political identities. Kennedy shows the ways in which ties to family and community that were created by birth and motherhood helped create a distinctively southern identity for women and their families.
