Drawing on combined community psychology and feminist theories and praxis, we have
sought to explore how mothers can be supported in their mothering in ways that move
beyond the institution of motherhood as an essentially patriarchal construction. Framing
the article around the question ‘‘Where’s the feminism in mothering?’’ has provided us
with a space to critically reflect both on our own experiences (as mothers, community
psychologists/health sociologist, and feminists) and on those of the mothers we work with.
