Read 2 essays from Mothering Canada: interdisciplinary voices, edited by Shawna Geissler, Lynn Loutzenhiser, Jocelyne Praud, and Leesa Streifler, 2010
Was looking for essays that might help An or Rania, but these were not a great fit.
Why Mothers are Still Women by Alison Hayford
Page 87, "Virtually all narratives in this genre make women responsible for getting their husbands to change, not the men themselves. If men don't change, it's because of wives [who] permit their husbands to shirk their responsibility".
Othermothering: parenting across international borders by Natalie M. Ward
Page 197, "it is interesting to note that while mothers who leave the home to support their children are viewed as bad mothers, the same criticism is not leveled at fathers".
