About the book >.>.> MATERNAL THINKING published in 1989 was a decade in the making. In the beginning-my first work on “maternal thinking” was published in 1980 – I was invigorated by a particular if tran- sient feminist optimism. Women seemed to be everywhere nam- ing the wrongs done us insisting confidently on our rights. Within this context of splendid assertion some feminists had begun to speak of “difference.” If women had suffered loved worked and reasoned distinctively “we” – for so it seemed at the moment- would make that distinctiveness shine; if women’s shining distinc- tiveness had also served to oppress us then we would transform the conditions of our distinction so that women’s interests would be served.
