Mothering in the wake of childhood violence experiences: reweaving a self and a world at the intersection of history and context Nicole Y. Pitre, Kaysi E. Kushner, Kathy M. Hegadoren & Kim D. Raine - Routledge, 2014 - Health Care for Women International .
Health Care for Women International, 2015, 36(2): 229-254
"[The authors] examined the stories of 12 women mothering growing children at the intersection of personal history (childhood violence experiences) and symbolic, structural, and ideological forces and conditions. Women revealed their determination to reweave a self and a world, that is, to continually reconstruct and reconfigure their life to change the story for themselves and their children. Women’s ability to reweave was however facilitated or challenged through intersections with family, networks, single stories, and prescribed rules and routines. [The authors] propose that reweaving work is a significant phenomenon to consider as deeper understandings of the dynamic experience of adult resilience are sought." (Authors' abstract)
