Mothers gathered in Paris to pledge their support and efforts to the construction of a peaceful Europe. Their organisation developed to the point that the movement under its original name in French, Mouvement Mondial des Mères, became one of the earliest civil society organisations to be accredited by the United Nations. Mothers saw themselves as leaders, educators, and peacemakers not only in the elemental basic unit of society, the family, but also in their neighbourhoods and in the wider community.

Internet discussion boards have become an important venue for women to participate in ongoing discussions about the role of mothering in contemporary society and serve as a means by which they are actively shaping society’s understanding of the role of mothers. A textual analysis of a popular mothering discussion board yielded two dominate mothering identities, tensions that exist for each mothering type and how mothers resolve those tensions through the mothering discourse. The study ultimately revealed the ways in which the mothering discourse serves as an important part of the identity construction process and is used as a means of negotiating, managing and ultimately reinforcing a mother’s own identity. i TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I.

Without their stories, this dissertation would not have been possible. Witnessing the daily struggles they undertook to improve their own lives and the lives of their children, I was left with a sense of deep admiration and renewed desire to help others understand the unique challenges that low- income, young mothers face. I am equally grateful for the dedicated service providers who assisted me in locating mothers to interview. In particular, Suzanne, Melissa, and Peggy went the extra mile taking time from their busy schedules to facilitate access, introductions, and insights with the mothers. I was fortunate to have had a committee of five accomplished women scholars who supplied the necessary balance of support and challenge to keep me motivated through the long, sometimes lonely, process of completing a dissertation.

Summary Summary of the Novel The novel contains four sections, each beginning with a vignette depicting a stage in the life cycle. The four stories in each section explore the relationship between the mothers and the daughters at the same stage. One series of stories focuses on Suyuan Woo, who comes to America in 1947, having lost her family, including twin daughters, during war. She does not know her daughters were rescued. Now remarried, she settles in San Francisco, has a daughter, Jing-mei (June), and starts a Joy Luck Club similar to one in China with three other women. The four form strong friendships. As she grows up, Jing-mei and her mother struggle to understand one another. They never completely resolve their differences, and Suyuan dies unexpectedly. At the next meeting of the Joy Luck Club, her mother’s friends tell Jing-mei that Suyuan’s twin daughters have been found. They give her a check so she can visit them. As the novel ends, she meets her sisters in Shanghai. A second set of stories focuses on An-mei, who lives with her grandmother because her mother has been disowned. When An-mei is nine, her grandmother dies; and An-mei leaves with her mother to live in the home of a wealthy man and his other wives.

  • The Postpartum Visit: an Overlooked Opportunity for Prevention
    THE POSTPARTUM VISIT: AN OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITY FOR PREVENTION Sarah Beth Verbiest, Master of Social Work and Master of Public Health A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate in Public Health in the Department of Health Policy and Management. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Ned Brooks, DrPH (Chair) Shoou-Yih Daniel Lee, PhD Milton Kotelchuck, PhD, MPH Larry Mandelkhr, MBA, CPHQ Merry-K Moos, MPH, FNP, FAAN ABSTRACT SARAH VERBIEST: The Postpartum Visit: An Overlooked Opportunity for Prevention (Under the direction of Edward Brooks) Women’s postpartum health needs affect the woman, her ability to care for her infant, and the health of babies she may have in the future. The postpartum visit provides an opportunity to help women transition from pregnancy to well-woman care, playing an important role in continuity of health services. This dissertation included a comprehensive literature review of the postpartum visit. Using the data from key informant interviews, surveys, and a chart review, this study examined factors that impact the postpartum visit provided by the University of North Carolina’s Obstetric Program, including: a) the health care system; b) provider attitudes and practice; c) the content of care; and d) the woman’s medical needs and access to care. The study found that certain populations of patients are less likely to receive a postpartum visit and when they do receive a visit they receive fewer services than other mothers. The content of the visit is variable and not as complete as it could be.
