Stepmothers often battle with a range of negative myths and stereotypes, with Cinderella's wicked stepmother being the most infamous.
Drawing on 20 in-depth interviews with British stepmothers, this book reimagines the expectations, practices and position of stepmothers through a feminist sociological lens. Combining firsthand accounts, including the author's own experiences, the book reveals the complexities of stepfamily dynamics and how stepmothers navigate them.
By examining the interplay between personal experiences and broader gendered, historical and social structures, the author offers a fresh perspective on contemporary stepmothers and stepfamilies.
