Grandmotherland: Exploring the Myths and Realities

By Judith Edwards

In this lively exploration of 'Grandmotherland', an experienced child psychotherapist draws together a wide range of perspectives on the role and experience of grandmothers. Judith Edwards looks back to the past and forward to the future, while being rooted in the reality of the modern grandmother's life. We meet 'good' grannies, 'bad' grannies, and all those in between, as well as women who fulfil the role without sharing DNA. Our guide looks at how the grannyhood is affected by personality, culture, and tradition, and considers how psychoanalytic insights help us understand what it means to be a grandmother..
