Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction All Moms Are Bad Moms Pre-Conception Discrimination Criminal Pregnancies “Neglectful” Mothers Mothers of Maimed and Murdered Children Fighting Back, Fighting for the Future ReferencesReviews“Failing Moms is a tour de force, offering a timely and critical analysis of the myriad ways that mothers are failed by just about everyone. Killian offers compelling and disturbing evidence that American mothers are embattled and exhausted. Happily, she also offers a host of solutions, beginning with valuing mothers.” Monica Casper, San Diego State University “This book does a breathtaking job of illuminating the ways all women are imperiled by the denigration of mothers. This accepted cruelty is systemic, built into the legal system, state neglect, and social mores and codes with which all women must contend, but none more so than those who become (or who are suspected of becoming) birthing bodies.” Kate Baldwin, Tulane University Author InformationCaitlin Killian is Professor of Sociology at Drew University.
