A fabulous collection of essays offering up new perspectives and debates, whether that be depictions of good and bad mothers; attitudes to fatness or ‘stoutness’; or contemporary reflections on intergenerational dress and mothering. * Jacki Willson, University of Leeds, UK * This book is a joy – and long overdue. In addressing motherhood, the authors bring insightful and serious attention to a subject and a condition that has been overlooked in fashion studies … For those of us who are mothers – and for those who are not – this book validates the significance of this most liminal and most essential human experience for our greater understanding of bodies, identities, culture, fashion, and dress. * Hazel Clark, Parsons School of Design, The New School, New York, USA * A very timely collection of on the neglected experience of motherhood as experienced and represented through fashion in many arenas – film, TV and celebrity, and popular music – combining personal reflections with provocative insights on the many constructions of motherhood through fashion … Fascinating reading. * Joanne Entwistle, Kings College London, UK *
