Preferred term

social action and motherhood  

Definition(s)

  • Long before Sojourner Truth asked the 1851 Ohio Women's Rights Convention audience “ain't I a woman?” and went on to describe being a mother and a slave, motherhood was central to women's activism. Throughout history, women have used collective beliefs and ideologies about mothers and motherhood in their social action efforts. [Source: Encyclopedia of Motherhood; Social Action and Motherhood]
