Mother Media

In "Mother Media," historian Hannah Zeavin explores the evolution of our understanding of motherhood and the societal fears surrounding "bad" mothering and "bad" media. Examining the impact of twentieth-century norms in pediatrics, psychology, and education, the audiobook reveals the complexities of technologized parenting and the ongoing crisis in family dynamics. Through discussions of both extreme and commonplace parenting scenarios, Zeavin highlights the paradox of technology being perceived as both harmful and essential in the challenges of raising children.
