For this purpose, I will use close reading techniques to analyze Margaret Atwood's novels The Handmaid's Tale, Cat's Eye and Oryx and Crake to show that all three foster a feminist view on motherhood. I will argue that in the novels Atwood recognizes motherhood as both a source of oppression and a source of empowerment. Additionally, I will demonstrate how she dismantles the myth of perfect motherhood by portraying disrupted mother-child relationships, authentic maternal experiences and the subjectivity of mother figures that would traditionally be regarded as \"bad\" mothers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronja Thiede\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3668948682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783668948686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grin Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.16d","brand":"Ronja Thiede","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49083270496511,"sku":"9783668948686","price":39.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/motherhood-in-margaret-atwoods-novels-ronja-thiede-9783668948686","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
