{"product_id":"mother-an-unconventional-history","title":"Mother : An Unconventional History","description":"What was mothering like in the past? When acclaimed historian Sarah Knott became pregnant, she asked herself this question. But accounts of motherhood are hard to find. For centuries, historians have concerned themselves with wars, politics and revolutions, not the everyday details of carrying and caring for a baby.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Much to do with becoming a mother, past or present, is lost or forgotten. Using the arc of her own experience, from miscarriage to the birth and early babyhood of her two children, and drawing on letters, diaries, court records and paintings, Sarah Knott explores the ever-changing experiences of maternity across the ages. From the labour pains felt by an enslaved woman to the triumphant smile of a royal mistress bearing a king's first son; from a 1950s suburban housewife to a working-class East Ender taking her baby to the factory; these lost stories of mothering create a moving depiction of an ever-changing human experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished: UK. 2020\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePages: 352\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 13: 9780241972748\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 10: 0241972744\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1rem; color: #1f2124; font-family: -apple-system,'system-ui','San Francisco','Segoe UI',Roboto,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1rem; color: #1f2124; font-family: -apple-system,'system-ui','San Francisco','Segoe UI',Roboto,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1rem; color: #1f2124; font-family: -apple-system,'system-ui','San Francisco','Segoe UI',Roboto,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1rem; color: #1f2124; font-family: -apple-system,'system-ui','San Francisco','Segoe UI',Roboto,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sarah Knott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44772773691658,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780241972748.jpg?v=1696849280","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/mother-an-unconventional-history","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
