Two perspectives on Single by Chance, Mothers by Choice (2006) by Rosanna Hertz

At the 2nd International Community, Work and Family Conference in Lisbon, April 2006 Ann Nilsen from the University of Bergen and Orly Benjamin from Bar-Ilan University participated in an ‘Author Meets Critics’ session with Rosanna Hertz to discuss her book Single by Chance, Mothers by Choice. The two review essays that follow have been written by Ann Nilsen and Orly Benjamin based upon their presentations from the conference, which provide two interesting, and at times quite different, perspectives on Hertz’s work, particularly in relation to women’s empowerment, gendered aspects of parenting, and the politics of motherhood and fatherhood.
