Summary:

Twenty-five essays are presented, the first nine of which are written by art historians and offer critical and theoretical reflections on representing the maternal body. The remaining contributions are by artist-mothers who articulate their experiences and reflections on a feminist aesthetic of childbirth, finding the balance, breastfeeding, masks and motherhood, maternal ambivalence, and childhood, among other topics. Editor Buller is an independent art historian, writer, curator, printmaker, and mother of three. She supplies the general introduction and an essay introducing the artists' section. The volume includes both color and b&w images of art works. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
