The book examines how various media portray the concept of the "bad mother," highlighting the impact these representations have on societal beliefs about motherhood. It argues that such portrayals often reinforce traditional views, while occasionally challenging them and prompting a re-evaluation of motherhood's cultural narratives. Through analysis of literature, film, and television, it invites readers to consider alternative constructions of motherhood and the implications for both mothers and society.
