Episode: Elinor Cleghorn on the radical history of mothering
Description: The work of mothering has been undervalued for centuries, relegated to the sidelines thanks to patriarchal control of history. In her new book, A Womenâs Work: Reclaiming the Radical History of Mothering, acclaimed author Dr Elinor Cleghorn brings stories of mothering out of the shadows to show how the women in them shaped history.
Jen chats to Elinor about the book, the denigration of mothering as âwomenâs workâ, and the lessons we could learn (as well a few we could forget) from the past.
