ABOUT DEMETER PRESS

Andrea O’Reilly founded Demeter Press in 2006, the first scholarly and feminist publisher to focus on the topic of mothering and motherhood. Since then, Demeter has established itself as a unique, passionate voice within the publishing world.

Why is motherhood not often acknowledged as a subject position in constituting gendered identities? Editor-in-Chief O’Reilly believes that Motherhood Studies must become an inclusive discipline, representing a “wide range of voices and perspectives.”

About the Book

“Motherhood” and “military” are often viewed as dichotomous concepts, with the former symbolizing feminine ideals and expectations, and the latter suggesting masculine ideals and norms. Mothers, Military, and Society contributes to a growing body of research that disrupts this false dichotomy. This interdisciplinary and international volume explores the ways in which mothers and the military converse, align, contest, and intersect in society. Through chapters that include in-depth case studies, theoretical perspectives and personal narratives, this book offers insights into the complex relationship between motherhood and the military in ways that will engage both academic and non-academic readers alike.
