Gangopadhyay defines new categories of motherhood, illustrating how mothers have crafted their own forms of motherhood care and developed the concept of neoliberal motherhood to reflect evolving ideals of motherhood in urban India.
Through in-depth interviews with emerging motherhood identities, such as work-from-home mothers, single mothers, and mumpreneurs, this book offers insights into how modern working mothers in India are balancing their aspirations with maternal responsibilities in a neoliberalist, post-pandemic context. The chapters examine COVID-19's impact on women's careers, exploring how mothers are challenging traditional gender norms and creating new care narratives. It also investigates how shifting demographic trends are generating new motherhood ideologies. These narratives address a significant research gap in family sociology and gender studies within the Global South, providing essential understanding of how working mothers with career commitments influence societal expectations and traditional family care roles.
This is an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers, and students of sociology, anthropology, and gender studies as well as policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and activists interested in how emerging demographic trends, global health crises, and state economic policies shape motherhood identities.
