Preferred term

myths of motherhood  

Definition

  • Common myths about mothers shape the beliefs of mothers and others about what mothers are like. Given that mothers in many countries around the world are a scapegoated group, it is not surprising that most the myths about mothers are frequently used to demean mothers.
