Motherhood in the 21st Century Conference hosted by Claremont Graduate University


Saturday, October 13th at 9am


What does “motherhood” mean in the 21st Century? Images of June Cleaver do not represent the typical mother today. Instead women are balancing motherhood with career, activism, and a host of other activities. In addition, mothers are dealing with critical issues impacting themselves and their children as a result of our changing society. This conference will address the growing and changing role of motherhood and will offer expert testimony about the many issues facing mothers today.
