First sentence: Abortion rights; the ethics of reproductive technology; children's right to "divorce" parents; the establishments of maternity and family leave policy; requiring workfare for welfare recipients; women's entry into the priesthood: some of the most heated social and political debates taking place in late-twentieth-century America turn out to revolve around disputed meanings of mothering and motherhood in contemporary society.
