Looking at a century of American theatre, McDaniel investigates how radically-informed notions of motherhood become sites of resistance to social and political hierarchies. (Re)Constructing Maternal Performance locates a broad tradition of 'counter maternities,' politically resistant performances that engage essentialist identities. While resituating motherhood as a role not always tied to biological gender, McDaniel employs a methodology informed by cultural, gender, and theatre studies, along with literary analysis and considers how the construction of mothering as universally women's work obscures additional, marginalizing identities based in race and class.
