「両立」の理想化では収まらないもの
――シングルマザーの葛藤とその背景

“Part memoir and reflective analysis, Pragya Agarwal examines motherhood and fertility and how it shapes all our lives”（https://canongate.co.uk/books/3664-m-otherhood-on-the-choices-of-being-a-woman/）

“【見出し】From choosing a donor to the surprise of twins - my complicated, anxious, joyful journey to becoming a mother”

“When Anne-Marie Slaughter’s 2012 Atlantic article “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All" came out, I have to admit I was crushed. Knowing that I want both a career and family in my future, Slaughter's advice was demoralising. However, what upset me more was her scapegoating of the feminist movement as a way of rationalising her own disappointment. This led me to explore the continuing unsatisfactory support faced by parents in the workplace, as well as the injustices inherent in the public framing of worklife balance.”

“【見出し】The portrayal of parenthood in pop culture hides the practical choices that need to be made in most families”

“Inspired by the legacy of radical and queer black feminists of the 1970s and ’80s, Revolutionary Mothering places marginalized mothers of color at the center of a world of necessary transformation. The challenges we face as movements working for racial, economic, reproductive, gender, and food justice, as well as anti-violence, anti-imperialist, and queer liberation are the same challenges that many mothers face every day. Oppressed mothers create a generous space for life in the face of life-threatening limits, activate a powerful vision of the future while navigating tangible concerns in the present, move beyond individual narratives of choice toward collective solutions, live for more than ourselves, and remain accountable to a future that we cannot always see. Revolutionary Mothering is a movement-shifting anthology committed to birthing new worlds, full of faith and hope for what we can raise up together.”

“【見出し】Work-life balance is a myth. It’s time for women to stop blaming themselves and start demanding change.”

“My mum got me to Oxford without a man to support her; so let’s stop constructing a narrative that alienates single mothers from the excellence of what they achieve, despite the odds. Instead, let’s spend time empowering them to do just that, and give them space to tell their stories whilst they do it.”

“【見出し】No matter how much you love them, if women knew how hard it is to be a single parent on a low income, they might think twice about having children”

“【見出し】It’s time to stop fooling ourselves, says a woman who left a position of power: the women who have managed to be both mothers and top professionals are superhuman, rich, or self-employed. If we truly believe in equal opportunity for all women, here’s what has to change.”
