Concept information

Preferred term

maternal activism  

Definition(s)

  • Historically, women have found that they could take up a public political role—one often traditionally denied to them through the prevailing political process—by advocating for causes that had a social currency. Although such women did not take on causes merely to aid their own fight for equality, their voices became heard more strongly than ever in mainstream political discourse.
