Nancy Gerber revitalizes feminist theories of motherhood and creativity. She shows that the mother who is an artist in contemporary fiction is a working class character: one who develops an 'aesthetic of the ordinary,' fashions political critique out of domestic metaphor, and sustains a rich interior life despite material poverty.
