Mommy angst motherhood in American popular culture

"How has the popularity of Gilmore Girls influenced perspectives on teenage pregnancies? How did the mother-in-law assume such monstrous proportions? Did the Republicans' view of motherhood-and their continual hectoring of Hillary Clinton for putting ambition ahead of family-cost them the 2008 election? Mommy Angst: Motherhood in American Popular Culture considers questions like these as it probes our country's views on mothers, and how those views shape-and are shaped by-the habitually oversimplified portrayals of mothers in pop culture, politics, and the media."@en
