Writing the Motherline Mothers, Daughters, And Education

This co-edited volume considers the mother-daughter bond through maternal storytelling or narrative and the Motherline. The narratives foreground the theory that a strong mother-daughter connection leads to empowerment, and attempt to link that connection with education. Using counter-narratives to patriarchal framings of family, this collection affirms the power of women educators telling and reading their stories as a means of self-discovery, empowerment, and, ultimately, cultural transformation.O'Brien, Leigh M. is the author of 'Writing the Motherline Mothers, Daughters, And Education', published 2006 under ISBN 9780761835073 and ISBN 0761835075.
