I first tackled the topic by thinking of the main themes: technology, family structures, jobs, communities and the state of the country. I read stories autobiographical stories on how mothering has changed and I reviewed statistical information collected by the Census and federal agencies. My main subjects were a mother, her mother and her grandmother who I found by contacting local moms organizations.Read More →
