In other words, tell us why knowing how to use this word matters to you...

Since a # of you are interested in the question of motherhood, I thought you might be interested to learn about Demeter Press: a peer-reviewed scholarly press focused specifically on the topic of mothering / motherhood. It came to mind because this week I received two calls for papers: one on "Stay at Home Mothers: An International Perspective," and another on "Criminalized Mothers: Criminalizing Motherhood." There are others, viewable from the home page, on "Reconceiving Black Motherhood," "East Asian Motherhood," and "Exploring Gender Fluid Parenting Practices."
