      abstract = {This collection defines the field of maternal studies in  Australia for the first time. Leading motherhood  researchers explore how mothering has evolved across  Australian history as well as the joys and challenges of  being a mother today. The contributors cover pregnancy,  birth, relationships, childcare, domestic violence, time  use, work, welfare, policy and psychology, from a diverse  range of maternal perspectives. Utilising a matricentric  feminist framework, Australian Mothering foregrounds the  experiences, emotions and perspectives of mothers to better  understand how Australian motherhood has developed  historically and contemporaneously. Drawing upon their  combined sociological and historical expertise, Bueskens  and Pascoe Leahy have carefully curated a collection that  presents compelling research on past and present  perspectives on maternity in Australia, which will be  relevant to researchers, advocates and policy makers  interested in the changing role of mothers in Australian  society.},
